A particular type of cell doubles in number every hour.Write an exponential function that can be used to findthe number of cells present, y, at the end of x hours ifthere are initially 4 of these cells?The exponential function that can be used to find the number of cells present, y, at the end of x hours, given that there are initially 4 cells is: y = 4 * 2^x This is because the number of cells doubles every hour, so if there are 4 cells to start with, after one hour there will be 8 cells (doubling the initial number), after two hours there will be 16 cells (doubling the number after one hour), and so on. The exponent in the function represents the number of hours elapsed, and the base of the exponent is 2, representing the doubling of cells every hour.
