Suppose that N= cuberoot x plus 2 models the number of cases of an infection, in millions, of a disease x years from now.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "WE can write the equation like this:
\n" ); document.write( "N = \"x%5E%281%2F3%29\"+ 2
\n" ); document.write( "a) Approximately how many cases of the infection will there be 16 years from now?
\n" ); document.write( "N = \"16%5E%281%2F3%29\"+ 2
\n" ); document.write( "N = 2.5198 + 2; found the cube root of 16 on a calc
\n" ); document.write( "N = 4.52 million in 16 yrs
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "b) In approximately how many years will there be 7 million cases?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E%281%2F3%29\"+ 2 = 7
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 2 from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E%281%2F3%29\" = 7 - 2
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E%281%2F3%29\" = 5
\n" ); document.write( "Cube both sides and you have;
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5^3
\n" ); document.write( "x = 125 yrs
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "It occurred to me that you may have meant the formula to be:
\n" ); document.write( "N = \"%28x%2B2%29%5E%281%2F3%29\"; you can let me know if that is the case and I will edit the procedure.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
