For the following exercises, use this scenario: The equation N(t) = 500/(1 + 49e-0.7t) models the number of people in a town who have heard a rumor after t days.
To the nearest whole number, how many people will have heard the rumor after 3 days?
Consider that the number of people in a town who have heard a rumor after t days is
N(t) = 500/(1 + 49e-0.7t)
Put t = 3
So,
N(t) = 500/(1 + 49e-0.7(3))
= 71.424847
≈ 71
Hence, Around 71 people have heard the rumor after 3 days.
Hence, Around 71 people have heard the rumor after 3 days.
