LEARNING Ms. Klemperer told her English class that each week students tend to forgetone sixth of the vocabulary words they learned the previous week. Suppose a studentlearns 60 words. The number of words remembered can be described by the functionxW(x) 60 5 , where x is the number of weeks that pass. How many words will the6student remember after 3 weeks?10. BIOLOGY Suppose a certain cell reproduces itself in four hours. If a lab researcherbegins with 50 cells, how many cells will there be after one day, two days, and threedays?
