Question

Among various populations of plants or animals, diseases spread exponentially. Use the function to model the spread of Common Corn Rust through a field of 8000 corn plants, with t equal to the number of days since the first case of the disease. How many plants will be infected with Common Corn Rust after 10 days? 1) 2362) 7613) 20734)5927

Answer 1

we have the exponential function

`y=8,000(1-e^((-0.03t)))`

For t=10 days

substitute in the given equation

`\begin{gathered} y=8,000(1-e^((-0.03\cdot10))) \\ y=2,073 \end{gathered}`

therefore'

the answer is the third option
