Question 1121616: The number N of people who will contract influenza after t days after a group of 1000 people are put in contact with a single person with influenza can be modeled by n=1000/(1+999.10^-0.17t).
Question is:
1. How many people contract influenza after 20 days.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
after 20 days the function is 1000/(1+999.10^(-3.4))=1000. The -3.4 comes from -0.17t, where t=20 days, so -0.17*20= -3.4
