Função exponencial o crescimento exponencial da pandemia de covid-19

Abstract

This article explores the exponential growth of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil through mathematical modeling. Its goal is to provide students with a deeper understanding of the exponential function and its real-world applicability. The modeling demonstrates how the number of cases grows rapidly over time, and the importance of containment measures to control the spread of the virus. The article discusses the fundamentals of the exponential function with the aim of applying these concepts to model the growth of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, using real data to adjust the model. Modeling results provide valuable insights into exponential behavior, allowing students to appreciate its practical applicability and its crucial role in understanding real-world phenomena. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of mathematics for navigating a world increasingly influenced by data and models
