We have been given that a particular type of cell increases by 75% in number every hour. We are asked to find the number of cells present at the end of 12 hours if there are initially 4 of these cells.
We will use exponential growth formula to solve our given problem.
, where,
y = Final amount,
a = Initial amount,
r = Growth rate in decimal form,
x = Time.
Upon substituting initial value and
in above formula, we will get:
Therefore, there will be approximately 3300 cells at the end of 12 hours.
