Problema Solution

the function d(x) models the cumulative number of deaths from a disease x years after 1984

estimate the year when there was 98,000 deaths

d(x)=2450sqrt2 + 5553x+ 5270

approximately 98,000 deaths in what year?

Answer provided by our tutors

year should be after 1984

D(X) = 2450(2)^1/2 + 5553x = 98000

solve for x

x =17.0242

 

this means that it is 17 years after 1984

1984+17= 2019 --> it is the year 2001
