Answer:

57

Step-by-step explanation:

did it on a calculator rounding its 57

The number of students will be sick after 6 days are 57.

What is exponential growth?

It is the pattern of growth that increases with at a passage of time.

Mathematically, if f(x) is a growth function, a is the initial time,r is the growth rate and n is number of intervals then

             f(x)  = a (1 + r)ⁿ

Let x be the total number of students.

It is given that initial number of sick students,

⇒ a = 15

and it is said that 25% of sick students increased everyday

r = 25% = 0.25

Number of students sick after days = 6

⇒ t = 6

Now after 6 days, students will be sick-          

      f(x)  = a (1 + r)ⁿ

⇒   f(x)  = 15 (1 + 0.25)⁶

⇒   f(x)  = 15 (1.25)⁶

⇒   f(x)  = 15 x 3.81

⇒   f(x)  = 57.22

⇒   f(x)  ≈ 57

The number of students will be sick after 6 days are 57.
