You can put this solution on YOUR website! P =12 + 50ln x respresents the percentage of inbound e-mail in the U.S that is considered spam. where x is the number of years after 2001. Carry all calculation to six decimals on each step, when necessary.
-------------------
a)USE THIS MODEL TO APPROXIMATE THE PERCENTAGE OF SPAM IN THE YEAR 2005.
ANSWER:
SHOW YOUR WORK:
x = 2005-2001 = 4
P = 12 + 50(ln(4))
P = 12 + 69.314718 = 71.314718%
=========================
B)USE THIS MODEL TO APPROXIMATE THE YEAR THE PERCENT OF SPAM WILL REACH 90% PROVIDED THAT LAW ENFORCMENT REGARDING SPAMMERS DOES NOT CHANGE?
ANSWER:
90 = 12 + 50ln(x)
78 = 50 ln(x)
ln(x) = 38/25
x = e^(38/25)
x = 4.572225 yrs
----------------
2001 + 4.572225 = 2005.572225 or in the year 2006
====================
