Question 1097446: 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.† 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.
f(t) =
Use it to estimate the number of cases on April 29, 2003. (The actual reported number of cases was 5,462.)
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Number=1804(1.04^t)
On the 29th, which was 28 days later, the cases should be 1804(1.04^28)=5409.66 or 5410.
