Cellular Growth Leticia Cox is a biochemist. She is testing two different types of drugs that induce cell growth. She has selected two cultures of 1000 cells each. To culture A, she administers a drug that raises the number of cells by 200 each day and every day thereafter. Culture B gets a drug that increases cell growth by 8% each day and everyday thereafter.
a. Assuming no cells die, how many cells will have grown in each culture by the end of the seventh day?
b. At the end of one month's time, which drug will prove to be more effective in promoting cell growth? Explain.
