Concept explainers
Cancer cells grow exponentially with a doubling time of 20 h when they have an unlimited nutrient supply. However, as the cells start to form a solid spherical tumor without a blood supply, growth at the center of the tumor becomes limited, and eventually cells start to die.
(a) Exponential growth of cell number N can be expressed as shown, where
(b) Write an equation that will describe the rate of change of tumor volume during exponential growth given that the diameter of an individual cell is 20 microns.
(c) After a particular type of tumor exceeds 500 microns in diameter, the cells at the center of the tumor die (but continue to take up space in the tumor). Determine how long it will take for the tumor to exceed this critical size.

- 2) Consider the set SL(n, R) consisting of n x n matrices with real entries having de- terminant equal to 1. Prove that SL(n, R) is a group under the operation of matrix multiplication (it is referred to as the Special Linear Group).arrow_forward1) What is the parity of the following permutation? (1389) (24) (567)arrow_forward4.7 Use forward and backward difference approximations of O(h) and a centered difference approximation of O(h²) to estimate the first derivative of the function examined in Prob. 4.5. Evaluate the derivative at x = 2 using a step size of h = 0.2. Compare your results with the true value of the derivative. Interpret your results on the basis of the remainder term of the Taylor series expansion.arrow_forward
