Afew 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
a(t)
of people infected t days after april 1, 2003.
a(t) = 1804(1.04^t)
use your model to estimate how fast the epidemic was spreading on april 17, 2003. (round your answer to the nearest whole number of new cases per day)
