<p>Suppose a population of cells starts at 500 and triples every day. The number of cells each day can be calculated as follows:</p>
<table class="os-raise-midsizetable">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th scope="col">Number Of Days</th>
      <th scope="col">Number Of Cells</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>          
    <td>
     0
    </td>
    <td>
     500
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>
      1
    </td>
    <td>
     1,500
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>
      2
    </td>
    <td>
      4,500
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>
     3
    </td>
    <td>
      13,500
    </td>
  </tr>
