Question

Pls help soon:)

Answer 1

Correct answers are:
(1) 28, 141 known cases
(2) 79913.71 known cases after six weeks (round off according to the options given)
(3) After approx. 9 weeks (9.0142 in decimal)

Explanations:
(1) Put x = 0 in given equation
y= 28, 141 (1.19)^x
y= 28, 141 (1.19)^(0)
y= 28, 141


(2) Put x = 6 in the given equation:
y= 28, 141 (1.19)^x
y= 28, 141 (1.19)^(6)
y= 79913.71

(3) Since
y= 28, 141 (1.19)^x
And y = 135,000

135,000 = 28, 141 (1.19)^x
135,000/28, 141 = (1.19)^x

taking "ln" on both sides:
ln(4.797) = ln(1.19)^x

ln(4.797) = xln(1.19)
x = 9.0142 (in weeks)
