RATIONALE
In general, exponential growth is modeled using this equation. We will use information from
the problem to find values to plug into this equation.
The initial number of infections is , so this is the value for a. The infection rate is ,
so this is our value for b (remember to write it as a decimal). We want to know how many
infections there will be in week 10, so we will use for the value for x. We will need to
solve for y. Start by simplifying what's inside the parentheses.
1 plus is . Next, take this value to the power of .
to the power of is . Finally, multiply this by .
There will be 276 people infected in week 10.

To evaluate this composite function, focus on the innermost function first. Evaluate
first by plugging in for the variable x in the function .
Once x has been replaced with , evaluate the expression.
The function evaluates to . To evaluate , use the value of , which is
, as the input for the function f left parenthesis x right parenthesis.
Once x has been replaced with , evaluate the expression.
This tells us that is equal to .

Just as with numeric fractions, we can re-write division of algebraic fractions as multiplication and
multiply across numerators and denominators. To re-write fraction division as multiplication, re-write
the second fraction as its reciprocal (flipping the numerator and denominator).
