Dr. Schmidt recorded a count of 100 patients infected with a disease After 15 weeks, they counted 212 patients. Assuming the count of patients infected grows at a continuous rate, write an exponential model for this situation in terms of t.the number of weeks passed. Round to two decimal places.when necessary.

To write an exponential model for the situation, we can use the formula for continuous growth:
where:- \( A(t) \) is the amount at time
,-
is the initial amount,-
is the continuous growth rate,-
is the time in weeks,-
is the base of the natural logarithm.Given:- Initial count
,- Count after 15 weeks \( A(15) = 212 \).We need to find the growth rate
. Using the information provided:
First, solve for
:
Now, take the natural logarithm of both sides to solve for
:
Calculate
:
Now, substitute
and
back into the exponential model:
So, the exponential model is:
