Question

Diseases tend to spread according to the exponential growth model. In the early days of AIDS, the growth factor (i.e. common ratio; growth multiplier) was around 1.8. In 1983, about 1800 people in the U.S. died of AIDS. If the trend had continued unchecked, how many people would have died from AIDS in 2004?

Answer 1

Answer:

The people dies in 2004 by aids are 413042853.4

Step-by-step explanation:

growth factor = 1.8

People died in 1983 = 1800

Let the people dies in 2004 is P.

Time, t = 2004 - 1983 = 21

So,

$P = 1800 \times (1.8)^{21}\\\\P = 413042853.4$
