Going from large to small, you
find another type of critter on the planet: alien amoebas!
Since you're stranded on the planet
and there's nothing else to do except run screaming from some of the
inhabitants, you decide to study amoeba populations.
Typical animal populations grow by
mommy and daddy animals making baby animals. (Hey -- these
lessons are G rated!) Amoeba populations, on the other hand,
grow by each amoeba splitting into two amoebas.
So, if each alien amoeba
splits
into
2 amoebas
every hour, can we create a formula to describe the
growth of the amoeba population?
Let's say we start with
50
amoebas...
Hey! This is just like alien
monster growth!
