Are Hz and cents/semitones readily convertible to and from each other?

Is there a formula?

    Given a note, ex. A4 is 440 Hz, moving up an octave, or 12 semitones, is doubling the Hz. You can figure out the Hz from the base note by multiplying it by 2^(x/12) where x is the number of semitones you want add.
