Can I get some help with an estimation of a cell count in a culture of E.coli cells if we assume we begin with $10^6$ cells, that they divide every 30 minutes and they are incubated for 12 hours?
I do not know how to do the calculation with a start number that is not 2, if it was it would just be $2^{24}$. But how is it done when the starting number of cells is $10^6$?
Is it $(10^6)^{24}$?
Thank you!
