. A contagious disease is spreading in a town of 10,000 people. There were 200 infectedpeople when the outbreak was discovered, and the number grew up to 1,000 after one month.Assuming the logistic model for the spread of the disease, find the number of infected peoplethree months after the outbreak.
Births to Unmarried Mothers The percent of livebirths to unmarried mothers for the years 1970–2007can be modeled by the logistic functiony = 44.742/1 + 6.870e-0.0782xwhere x is the number of years after 1960.a. Use this model to estimate the percent in 1990 andin 1996.b. What is the upper limit of the percent of teenmothers who were unmarried, according to thismodel?
Given:(1, 2.0), (1.5, 3.5), (2, 4.0), (4, 5.8), (6, 7.0), (8, 7.8).(a) use a graphing utility to create a scatter plot of the data, (b) decide whether the data could best be modeled by a linear model, an exponential model, or a logarithmic model, (c) explain why you chose the model you did in part (b), (d) use the regression feature of the graphing utility to find the model you chose in part (b) for the data and graph the model with the scatter plot, and (e) determine how well the model you chose fits the data.
