The spread of a virus is modeled by V (t) = −t3 + t2 + 12t, where V (t) is the number of people (in hundreds) with the virus and t is the number of weeks since the first case was observed. (d) Find the instantaneous rate of infection as a function of t using the limit definition of the derivative. (e) Find V (2) and V ′(2). Write a sentence interpreting V (2) and V ′(2) in terms of the number of infected people. Make sure to include units. (f) Sketch the tangent line to the graph you drew in a. at the point (2, V (2)). State the slope of the tangent line.
