Answer:
The number of cases in the year 2010 is 266.
Step-by-step explanation:
An exponential function is one that the independent variable x appears in the exponent and has a constant a as its base. Its expression is:
f(x)=aˣ
being a positive real, a> 0, and different from 1, a ≠ 1.
In this case:
where t is the number of years since 1960 and e is an irrational number of which it is not possible to know its exact value because it has infinite decimal places. The first figures are 2,7182818284590452353602874713527 and is often called the Euler's number. e is the base of natural logarithms.
In this case, you want to know the number of cases r (t) in 2010. So, to know t you must know how many years have passed since 1960. For that, you can simply do the following subtraction: 2010-1960 and you get as a result : 50.
Replacing in the exponential expression r (t):
Solving:
r(t)=265.79 ≅ 266

The Equation of a Line
The slope-intercept form of a line can be written as:
y = mx + b
Where m is the slope of the graph of the line and b is the y-intercept.
In the specific case where the line passes through the origin (0,0), we can find the value of b by substituting x=0 and y=0:
0 = m(0) + b
Solving for b:
b = 0.
Thus, the equation of the line reduces to:
y = mx
We only need to find the value of the slope.
That is where we need the second data. Our line is perpendicular to the line of equation 4x + 3y = 6.
Solving for y:
The slope of the second line is -4/3.
We must recall that if two lines of slopes m1 and m2 are perpendicular, then:
Substituting the value of m1 and solving for m2:
The slope of our line is 3/4 and the required equation is:
From this last equation, we need to find the general form of the line.
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4:
4y = 3x
Subtract 3x on both sides:
4y - 3x = 0
Reorder:
-3x + 4y = 0
