Question

Using the model from the example above, where f(x)=10001+999e−0.6030x, estimate the number of cases of flu on day 15. Remember that answers should be rounded to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

The number of cases of flu on day 15 will be 1001 flus

Exponential functions

Exponential functions are expressed as y = ab^x

Given the expression below

$f(x)=10001+999e^{-0.6030x}$

In order to determine the number of cases of flu on day 15, we will substitute x = 15 into the expression to have:

$f(x)=10001+999e^{-0.6030(15)}\\f(x)=10001+999e^{-9.045}\\f(15) = 10001+0.11786\\f(15) \approx 10001$

Hence the number of cases of flu on day 15 will be 1001 flus
