In many epidemics, the cum ulative num ber of cases grows exponentially, at least over a limited time. A recent exam ple is the spread of the Influenza A (H1N1) virus, comm only called the swine flu, which affected Mexico and the United States especially. On April 24, 2009, there were seven cum ulative cases of swine flu in the United States reported to the World Heal th Organization. Over the next two weeks, the cum ulative num ber of cases in the United States inareased by about 40% each day. If this growth rate had continued, what would have been the cum ulative num ber of cases in the United States reported 45 days after April 24?
