A monkey with the Ebola virus has escaped from its captivity in the laboratory and infected one employee. This employee reports to a Restin hospital later with Ebola symptoms. The Infectious Disease Center (IDC) in Atlanta gets a call and begins to model the spread of the disease. Build a model for the IDC with the following growth rates to determine the number of people who will be infected in Restin after 2 weeks.

a. k = 0.25
