0. The diagram on the right shows the growth of a type of cell. n?x4 second day, each cell produces three cells. On the following h?x2
It is given that on the first day, there are four cells. On the
day, each new cell produces another three new cells. The
process of producing new cells repeats at the same rate.
(a) On which day will the total number of cells exceeds 50
for the first time?
b) Calculate the total number of cells on the fifth day.
c) Given the life span of a cell is 5 days, calculate the total
number of cells on the eighth day.
