7. When a woman becomes pregnant, the level of hCG hormone in her bloodstream
increases by roughly 35% every day.

a. What is the approximate doubling time of the hCG hormone? I got 2 days using the 70/35%.

b. If 5 mlU/ml is baseline (the initial amount at conception), how much hCG will be present in the bloodstream after 12 days? I got 320 using the double time formula: new value=initial value*2^12/2
