Exponentials and the Flu
Each square is a person. Day is how many days the Flu has been spreading. Spread is how many people 1 person spreads to per day. Click randomize to change who gets infected when.
1) Choose a square. How many days does it take for that square to be infected with a spread of 1? How about with a spread of 2?
2) How does the spread rate affect how many days it takes for every square to be infected?
3) Can you make an exponential formula using spread and day that will give you the number of infected squares?
