Exponential Growth Tumor

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

Determine the Best Time to Remove a Tumor Based on Its Growth 

You are a cardiologist and after you have reviewed the initial examination and discovered a small tumor, it is your job to decide when it is best to perform surgery.  You will see the current size of the tumor, its growth rate, and the optimal size to surgically remove it for this particular patient.  Then fill in the box with the number of days accurate to two decimal places and click on Schedule Appointment to watch it grow and see if you scheduled the appointment at the optimal time to save the patient's life or if you scheduled it at the wrong time severely risking the patient's life.
