Question
The rate, r, at which people get sick during an epidemic of the flu can be approximated by r = 1000te0.5t , where r is measured in people/day and t is measured in days since the start of the epidemic. (a) Write an improper integral representing the total number of people that get sick. (b) Use a graph of r to represent the improper integral from part (a) as an area.
Solution
The first step in solving 6.3 problem number 33 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The rate, r, at which people get sick during an epidemic of the flu can be approximated by r = 1000te0.5t , where r is measured in people/day and t is measured in days since the start of the epidemic. (a) Write an improper integral representing the total number of people that get sick. (b) Use a graph of r to represent the improper integral from part (a) as an area.
From the textbook chapter USING THE FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM TO FIND DEFINITE INTEGRALS you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
