Answer:
The simplified expressions are
1) a - b + c + m + n
2) x + a + m - 2
3) m + a - k - b
4) x + a - b - c + d
Step-by-step explanation:
1) a - (b - c) + (m + n)
To simplify the above expression, we have;
a - (b - c) + (m + n) = a - b - (-c) + m + n = a - b + c + m + n
2) x + a + (m - 2)
To simplify the above expression, we have;
x + a + (m - 2) = x + a + m - 2
3) m + (a - k - b)
To simplify the above expression, we have;
m + (a - k - b) = m + a - k - b
4) x + (a - b) - (c - d) = x + a - b - c -(- d)) = x + a - b - c + d
Answer:
a) growth will reach a peak and begin declining after about 42.6 days. 5000 people will be infected at that point
b) the infected an uninfected populations will be the same after about 42.6 days
Step-by-step explanation:
We have assumed you intend the function to match the form of a logistic function:

This function is symmetrical about its point of inflection, when half the population is infected. That is, up to that point, it is concave upward, increasing at an increasing rate. After that point, it is concave downward, decreasing at a decreasing rate.
a) The growth rate starts to decline at the point of inflection, when half the population is infected. That time is about 42.6 days after the start of the infection. 5000 people will be infected at that point
b) The infected and uninfected populations will be equal about 42.6 days after the start of the infection.
Answer:
The population of 75 hours from now would be 40,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
The reason for this is because your initial number is 10,000 and when 25 hours pass by, your population would be 20,000. Another 25 hours pass by, and then your population would be 40,000. If you multiply 25 by 3, you will notice 75 hours have just passed, so your answer would be 40,000.
Answer:
Your work is correct as far as it goes. Now eliminate the terms that are zero.
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiplying anything by zero gives zero. Adding zero is like adding nothing. Zero is called the "additive identity element" because ...
a + 0 = a
Adding zero doesn't change anything. You can (and should) drop the zero if your goal is to simplify the expression.
