Ok, so im stuck on this q:
I have to find the formula relating m to p:
M 1 2 3 4 5 6
P 1 2 4 8 16 32
The problem is explained as for the first minuite late a student is he gets a one side essay, if he is 2 mins late he gets 2 sides, if he is 3 mins late he gets 4 sides (i.e it doubles per min)
M = mins late
P = number of pages for essay
Any ideas?
