The number of deaths among members of the U.S. Navy in the first 3 months of the 1918 influenza epidemic can be modeled as 3,016 N(t) = 1+ 119,25e-1.024t deaths where t is the number of weeks since the start of the epidemic, based on data for weeks 0 sts 13.t (a) Numerically estimate, to the nearest integer, the end behavior for as t increases without bound. Show the numerical estimation table starting at t = 3 and incrementing by adding 5. t+ 00 N(t) 8 13 18 23 (b) Write an equation for the horizontal asymptote for N found in part (a). y = (c) Write a sentence interpreting the result found in part (a) in context. The model predicts that deaths occurred --Select-- * among members of the U.S. Navy as a result of influenza during the epidemic of 1918.
