Katie is a biochemist. During her last trip to the Amazon rainforest, she brought back some leaves from a plant. The substance she extracted from the leaves has some amazing properties. One drop of the substance on a given cell causes it to grow and divide, so that it generates an additional cell of the same size, along with a smaller bonus cell. Immediately after the first division, there are three cells (2 large and 1 small). During the next division, the number of large and small cells doubles again, for a total of 6 cells (4 large ones and 2 small ones). The same pattern continues for each new division. Your task is to find the total number of cells present as a result of the third division. 3 6 12 24 3 Correct, good job! The student sucessfully modeled a real world problem using a simple geometric sequence. 1 Sorry, that's not right. You found the number of cells present as a result of the first division (3). At the second division, there would be 6 cells, and at the third division, there would be a total of 12 cells, which is the correct answer. Looks like the student computed the number of cells present as a result of the first division. 2 Sorry, that's not right. You found the number of cells present as a result of the second division. Double that number to get 12, the number of cells present after the third division. Looks like the student computed the number of cells present as a result of the second division. 4 Sorry, that's not right. You found the number of cells present as a result of the fourth division. At the first division there are 3 cells, at the second division, there are 6 cells, and at the third division, there are a total of 12 cells, which is the correct answer. Looks like the student computed the number of cells present as a result of the fourth division. VerbalRuleGeometric ExplicitGeometric ModelGeometric
