a and b

2. Unfortunately many people have died in South Africa due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The black graph below shows the number of people over age 1 year who have died per
week (from all possible causes, not only COVID-19) in South Africa between 29 December
2019 and 12 June 2021. We will call this black graph D(t). The solid orange graph shows
how many people are normally expected to die per week, carrying on to the end of 2021.
We will call this graph E(t). (The dotted lines are just to show that the actual values may
be a little different to E(t).)

The functions f(t) and g(t) have similar shapes to D(t) and E(t) respectively. They are
sketched below on the interval [0, 48], measuring t in weeks and taking t = 0 on 1 June
2020.
