Question

The number of people getting the Swine Flu doubles every 8hours. If there were 50 people originally contaminated, A) Write a mathematical model for the situation, assuming thegrowth is continuous and exponential (this must be donealgebraically). A =Pert                                                          (myanswer) : A = 50e.0866433976t 100 = 50er(8) 2 = e8r ln2 = 8rlne ln2 = 8r lne .6931471806 = 8r r = .0866433976 B) How many people will have the Swine Flu after 2 days? (Be careful with the units...) A = 50e.0866433976t A = 50e.0866433976(48) A = 3200.000005 people The number of people getting the Swine Flu doubles every 8hours.

Explanation / Answer

Your work is correct. 3200 people would have the swine flu after 48hours and if that's the value you got using your equation then youknow you are correct with that as well. Good job :]
