The formula for exponential growth is written as y = a(1 + RATE)^time

where a is the starting value, rate is the percentage of growth written as a decimal and time in this case would be the number of days.


You are given the growth rate as 11% and the starting day was day 1.

Since the table only goes to 10 days, you can use 10 as the time, or use X as an exponent if you need to calculate more than 10 days.


Using all this information, the formula becomes y = 1(1.11)^10 for 10 days or y = 1(1.11)^x for any number of days needed.
