Applied Mathematics Semester Review

The thing I learned that I'll never forget is the Sierpinski's triangle.  

The Sierpinski's triangle is not just what we draw, it is also in nature. It was discovered by a man named Sierpinski's who was a scientist of nature. This is not only science this triangle is also part math. Why?

I'll show you!
On the Sierpinski's triangle there is a continuous pattern that is very
long. Here is where the math comes in...

3 to the power of 0= 1 big triangle
3 to the power of 1= 3 medium triangls
3 to the power of 2= 9 small triangls


  
As you can see the triangles get smaller as the numbers get bigger an tell the verey smallest one comes...

3 to the power of 1,000,000,000=???

Now that is what I call a verey hard math problem. :O<(WOW!)
