What is the exponential growth rate of a virus if initially 209 people in a state tested positive with a
virus and a week later 325 people tested positive? Round the growth rate to 5 decimal places.
If the growth of the virus continues at this rate, how many weeks will it be before 2000 people test
positive for the virus? Round to the nearest tenth of a week.
