s would double every 4 days for several months. As of July 27, 2009, the number of new cases was 15,784. Determine the instantaneous growth rate for the virus (rounded to the nearest ten-thousandths).

Answer:

  growth rate = 0.1733 per day, or 17.33% per day

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the doubling time is 4 days, the growth factor over a period of t days is ...

  2^(t/4)

Then the growth factor for 1 day is

  2^(1/4) ≈ 1.189207

The instantaneous growth rate is the natural log of this:

  ln(1.189207) ≈ 0.1733 . . . per day
