You can put this solution on YOUR website! In a brood of 2000 cats, 5 have feline leukemia and the number of cats with leukemia doubles every day.
a. Write the number of cats with leukemia as a function of time (p=po(1+r)^t/n)
p(t) = 5*2^t
------
b. Graph the function over the first 30 days and show the window.
p(30) = 5*2^30
c. How many cats will have feline leukemia after 17 days?
p(30) = 5*2^17
d. On what day will the entire brood have feline leukemia?
Solve 5*2^t = 2000
---
2^t = 400
t = log(400)/log(2) = 8.64
Ans:: On the 9th day
