Epidemic Control: An epidemic is spreading through a large

western state. Health Officials estimate that the number of

persons who will be affected by the disease is a function of
time since the disease was first detected. Specifically, the
function is n = f(t) = 20t2+40t - 60
Where n equals the number of persons and 0 ≤ t ≤ 60,
measured in days.
(a) How many persons are expected to have caught the
disease after 10 days? After 30 days?
(b) What is the average rate at which the disease is expected
to spread between t = 10 and t = 30?
(c) What interpretation can be given to f(0)?
(d) At what time the no persons were effective.
(Generators) A Manufacturer has developed a new design
for gas generators. Marketing studies have indicated that
annual demand for the generators will depend on the
price charged. The demand function for the generators has
been estimated as
q = 100,000 – 200p
a) What is the price of one generator.
b) What is the price of 10 generators? 20 generators
c) What is average price rate between 30 to 40
generators.
d) At what price they have lost.
where q equals the number of units demand
and p equals the price in Pak Rupee.
The gross annual earnings of a certain company
were A(t) = 0.1t2 + 10t +20 thousand Rupees,
t years after its formation in 2000.
a) How many gross annual earning in 2003? In 2005
b) At what percentage rate were the gross
annual earnings with respect to time 2004?
c) What is the average rate were the gross
annual earnings of the company between 2003
and 2005
Minority Population Growth. Hispanics are the fastest
growing minority group within USA. If current trends
ontinue, it is estimated the Hispanics will surpass blacks
s the largest minority group somewhere around the
year 2009. Table shows estimates of the U.S. Hispanic
in Millions ) in recent years.
Year 1987 1988 1989 1990
Population 19.2 19.9 21.0 22.4
a) Determine the average rate of change in the
population between 1987 and 1989, 1988 and 1990,
1987 and 1990.
b) In which years the average growth rate is high.
c) What is the total population of minority group in
1989.
