PLZ HELP

First you will focus on actual viral growth inside a human body. Pick a virus
and research its growth rate. If you are having trouble finding a growth rate
for a specific virus, make up your own growth rate. Use your growth rate to
create an exponential growth function. Make a table for the number of virions
(virus particles) that can grow inside a human body. Start with one virion on
the first day, and continue the table for two weeks. How does that compare to
the number of cells in a person’s body?

i picked Ebola as the virus wich has a growth rate of 11% per day, but im confused how to make the function and table, plz help!

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that we have to focus on actual viral growth inside a human body.

For this purpose i picked Ebola as the virus wich has a growth rate of 11% per day.

Let initial virus present in the human body be
P_0

Then virus present at time t where t represents number of days would be


P(t) = P_0 (1.11)^t

Thus we have after t days


P_0 (1.1), P_0 (1.1)^2,....P_0(1.1)^t,... and so onl
