Answer:
A) The 75 is the initial number of cells, and the 2 indicates that the number of cells doubles every minute
Step-by-step explanation:
When x=0 (no minutes have elapsed), the value of the function is ...
f(0) = 75(2^0) = 75(1) = 75 . . . . the initial number of cells
As x increases by 1 (minute), the number of cells is multiplied by 2, so the 2 is the multiplier each minute. It indicates the number doubles. ("double" = "multiply by 2")
x is not defined, but for the function to make any sense, it must represent elapsed minutes.
