Note: This has nothing to do with programming, but it does contain several concepts that are crucial to the development of a style of rationalization that is essential to anyone interested in computer science.
This is a numerical mathematics challenge. You can use any tool available to you to solve the problems. The problems will come in sets that are related. After one person solves the current problem, I will post the next problem.
Problem 2.7.10
When viruses enter the somatic cells of a organism, they begin to rapidly replicate. In one particular instance, the number of viruses within an organism will double every four hours. Assuming that this is true for all cases, if 10,000 viral particles infect an organism, how long will it take for the number of viral particles to reach 1,000,000,000,000 (10^12)?
