Question

A flu epidemic described approximately followed the curve P = 180 + 18,000e^(-0.33t) million people, where P is the number of people infected and t is the number of weeks after the start of the epidemic. How fast is the epidemic growing (that is, how many new cases are there each week) after 20 weeks? After 30 weeks? After 40 weeks? (Round your answers to two significant digits.)
