How am I suppose to graph this?

Question

I have X and Y. Y is the # of people infected. It starts from 0 then goes to 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180. I between are 9 lines counting up. So Im guessing that the lines from 0 - 20 represent 11,12,13,14,15,16 and so on. Then x is the day 1-7. The data is is this:

Day 0 - 2 People infected Day 2 - 6 people infected Day 3 - 18 people infected Day 4 - 162 people infected day 5 - 486 infected day 6 - 1458 people infected day 7 - 4364 people infected.

How am I suppose to graph this when the number of people infected increases beyond the number on the Y axis of the graph?

Answer 1

Depending on your graphing medium, you can increase your "Y", or simply calculate the numbers from your given set.

Good luck!!!

Answer 2

Scale down or up your magnitudes. If you have a ruler that is only 10 inches long you shorten the size of the thing you measure, to allow you to use scale 1: 25 instead of 1: 2.5 In other word, divide the equation both sides by 10, 100 or so. Good luck.

Answer 3

It looks like you would have to shrink the parameters a bit to fit
