A certain culture of bacteria doubles every hour. This type of growth is commonly
called exponential growth and it is quite rapid.
Can you develop a table that displays what the bacteria count is every hour
given an initial bacteria count of 100 and allowing the growth to take place over
the next 10 hours?
Let X represent the time (in hours) over which the bacteria is allowed to grow,
and let Y be the bacterial count.

- Use your cursor arrows to highlight the TABLE menu and press
or just press when at the
main menu screen.

(Make sure no other Y-slot is highlighted, i.e. selected for computation.)
