Did You Know ? : Indices

Amoeba

Binary fission

An amoeba,  a micro-organism reproduces by a process called binary fission. During the process which takes less than an hour, an amoeba can replicate itself to produce two identical new amoebae. These two amoebae will turn reproduce four amoebae, and the process keep repeated on and on. 

Therefore, the size of amoeba population can grow very rapidly. The numbers 1, 2, 4, 8, ..... can be represented in the index notation as 

2ⁿ, where n = 0, 1, 2,3, 4, ....

So people, this is what INDICES is all about. 

Many formulae that we encounter in most applied problems involve the use of indices. In this chapter, we learn the concept of indices and the use of laws of indices to perform computations involving numbers as well as algebraic term.

But hey people, look at your body. It built up from trillion of cells isnt it? Did you know that cell is also undergo binary fission and see how great and healthy your body right now. So why dont you go and thanked your mom and dad for giving you birth to this wonderful world.

Wow, Mathematics is around us!

Until then, thank you people for visiting my tiny little blog. 

Cicer Ziha loves you <3
