Could somebody help me set up an exponential growth function? Basically I have to find a virus, find the growth rate of the virus, make an exponential growth rate function, and then make a table that lasts two weeks. I have already found a virus and a growth rate. Virus: Ebola Growth Rate: 11% per day

I think the function should look as follows. \[y = 11^x\] But I don't think that's correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to increase a number by \(11\%\) multiply it by \(100\%+11\%=111\%=1.11\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should be \[y=A_0\times (1.11)^x\]where \(A_0\) is the starting amount
