This is the theory of exponential growth. Given that the an athlete is training to run marathon and she plans to run 2 miles in the first week and increase the distance by 8%. The function modeling how far she will run the nth week will be given by
nth=ae^(bx)
nth=2e^(0.08x)
where x is the nth time.
