Answer 1

Answer:

f(x) = 4(1.02)^(7x); spreads at a rate of approximately 2% daily

Answer 2

Answer:

f(x) = 4(1.02)^(7x); spreads at a rate of approximately 2% daily

Step-by-step explanation:

The weekly number of people infected is:

f(x) = 4(1.15)^x

So the daily number of people infected is:

f(x) = 4(1+r)^(7x)

To find the value of the daily rate r, we set this equal to the first equation.

4(1.15)^x = 4(1+r)^(7x)

(1.15)^x = (1+r)^(7x)

(1.15)^x = ((1+r)^7)^x

1.15 = (1+r)^7

1.02 = 1+r

r = 0.02

So the equation is f(x) = 4(1.02)^(7x), and the daily rate is approximately 2%.
