Question 1163491: a) An epidemic is spreading through a large western state. Health officials estimate that the number of persons who will be afflicted by the disease is a function of time since the disease was first detected. The function is
n=f(t)= 200 t3 - 20 t2
Where n equals the number of persons and 0< t < 60 measured in days
i) How many persons are expected to have caught the disease after 10 days? After 30 days?

An epidemic is spreading through a large western state. Health officials estimate that the number of persons who will be afflicted by the disease is a function of time since the disease was first detected. The function is
n=f(t)= 200 t3 - 20 t2
Where n equals the number of persons and 0< t < 60 measured in days
i) How many persons are expected to have caught the disease after 10 days? After 30 days?
------------------------
Use ^ (Shift 6) for exponents
Don't put spaces between, eg, 200 t^3
------------------------
n=f(t)= 200t^3 - 20t^2
How many persons are expected to have caught the disease after 10 days?
Sub 10 for t:
n = 200*10^3 - 20*10^2 = 200000 - 2000 = 198000
=====================
After 30 days?
Sub 30 for t.
===========================================
You may edit the question. Maybe convert formulae to the same formula notation as in your solutions.
