Mitosis is a process by which 1 cell divides and becomes 2 cells, those 2 cells divide and become 4 cells, and so on. Write an equation for the nth term of the geometric sequence giving the numbers of cells at each stage of this process, where a1=1. Then find a10

answer: 2530

hope this

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.

answer:

at time x=0 we have 1000, at time x=1 we have 2000, at time x=2 we have 4000.  

so that's an initial value of 1000 and a ratio of 2,

y = 1000 (2^x)

hope this !
