Question

For anything more then 50% there is no cure. If the disease is spreading according to the formula P=6d+5 where P is the percent of the body affected and d is the number of days, fill out the following chart and explain to a patient what you observed. Days % of hods Affected

Answer 1

Disease spreading formula

`P=6d+5`

Where d = number of days

Now, we need to calculate the value of P for the different days

Day 1

P = 6*(1)+5 = 11%

Day 2

P = 6*(2)+5 = 17%

Day 3

P = 6*(3)+5 = 23%

Day 4

P = 6*(4)+5 = 29%

Day 5

P = 6*(5)+5 = 35%

Day 6

P = 6*(6)+5 = 41%

Day 7

P = 6*(7)+5 = 47%

Day 8

P = 6*(8)+5 = 5353%

The disease starts spreading from day 1 and continues to increase day after day in a linear fashion. After day 8 there is no cure for the disease as it exceeds 50%.
