A scientist has 3^15 cells in a container. She expects the number of cells to triple in on day. How many cells will the scientist have after one day? Show your work or explain your reasoning

Respuesta :

Answer:

3^16 cells

Step-by-step explanation:

The scientist has 3^15 cells. If we triple the number of cells, we multiply this amount by 3

3 * 3^15 = 3^1 * 3^15

Remember your laws of exponents: we add the exponents here.

3^(1+15) = 3^16
