Question 1107574: Public health records indicate that 't' weeks after the outbreak of a certain form of influenza, the number of people who had caught the disease was given by
Q (t) = 19/(4 + 20e^(−1.5t))
Where Q (t) is given in thousands of people.
If the trend continues, approximately how many people will eventually contract the disease? Round your answer to the nearest person.

As in any logistic function, as time continues to pass (as t goes to infinity), the exponential with a negative exponent goes to zero. So the limit as time goes to infinity of this logistic function is 19/4.

Since the formula gives the number of thousands, the number of people who caught the disease is 19000/4 = 4750.
