3. A virus has infected 400 people in the town and is spreading to 25% more people each day.

Write an exponential function to model this situation, then find the number of people that will be
infected in 10 days.

The answer will be 1,400.

25% of 400 is 100.
You take the 100 and add it to the 400 each day.
After 10 days, you will have 100!!

The formula for an exponential function is f(x)=b^x.

I don’t remember exactly how to set up the problem...but I hope that helped!
