Two people become infected with a virus that spreads quickly. each day that passes, the number of infected people triples. how can the number of infected people be determined from the number of days that have passed?

nth day infected =

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Two people become infected with a virus that spreads quickly. Each day that passes, the number of infected people triples.

This can be written as

I day infected = 2

II day infected = 2(3) = 6

III day infected = 6(3) =18

nth day infected = nth term of a geometic sequence

where n is the number of day

Using the above we can find out the number of people infected
