We can model the value of the doubling coin using an exponential function.
Let V(d) represent the value of the coin on Day d. Since the value doubles every day, we can express the function as:
V(d) = 2^d
Where d is the number of days that have passed since Day 0. This formula is an exponential function because the value of the coin is increasing by a fixed percentage (in this case, doubling) each day.
Suppose that you have a coin whose value doubles every day. That is, on the day you get the coin, Day 0, its value is $1. On Day 1, its value is $2. On Day 2, its value is $4, and so on, doubling in value each additional day. Write a function we can use to model the value of the doubling coin.
