Question
Consider the function for cell duplication. The cells duplicate every minute.
f(x)=75(2)x

The correct response is:
**The 75 is the initial number of cells, and the 2 indicates that the number of cells doubles every minute.**
In the function \( f(x) = 75(2)^x \), the value 75 represents the initial number of cells before any duplication occurs (when \( x = 0 \), \( f(0) = 75 \)). The base of the exponent, 2, indicates that the number of cells doubles every minute, as each minute corresponds to an increase in \( x \) by 1.
