end of ten years.

2. The most recent virus that is making people ill is a fast multiplying one. On the first day, only 2 virus “bugs”
are present. Each day after, the amount of “bugs” triples. Find the amount of “bugs” present by the 5th day.

3. Tobias ate half a banana in his room and forgot to throw the rest away. That night, two gnats came to visit
the banana. Each night after, there were four times as many gnats hanging around the banana. On what night
will there be 120 gnats in his room?
