9. -11 points WaneACS 2.2.082. My Notes A few weeks into the deadly SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) epidemic in 2003, the number of cases was increasing by about 4% each day.t On April 1, 2003, there were 1,804 cases. Find an exponential model that predicts the number of cases t days after April 1, 2003. Use it to estimate the number of cases on April 25, 2003. (The actual reported number of cases was 4,649.) cases 10. -/1 points WaneAC5 2.2.088 My Notes FlybynightSavings.com is offering a savings account that pays 29% compounded continuously.

Explanation / Answer

9) number of initial cases = 1804

it is icreasing 4% each day

so , f(t) = 1804 ( 1 + .04)^t

exponential model is

f(t) = 1804 (1.04)^t

b) number of cases on april 25

plugging t = 24

f(t) = 1804 (1.04)^24

f(t) = 4624.2

so, number of cases on april 25 , 2003 was 4624.2
