A group of friends created a video parody of several popular songs and posted it online. \ \
\A model that can be used to estimate the number of people that viewed the video is \ \
, Where
is the days since the video was originally posted. \ \
(a) \ \
\The logistic function . \ \
Graph: \ \
\Graph the logistic function on
. \ \
\ \
\ \
(b) \ \
\Find the function values at and
for graph by using tracing or table feature of the
graphing utility in part (a). \ \
\Therefore, ,
and
. \ \
Find . \ \
Graph the function up to . \ \
Plot the point on the graph at . \ \
\ \
Observe the graph: \ \
\The function value at is
. \ \
Therefore number of people who watched the video after two months() is
. \ \
\ \
(c) Find . \ \
Observe the graph in part(b): \ \
\As tends to large positive values , then
increases without bound. \ \
Thus, we may conclude that infinite amount of people may view the video. \ \

\ \
(a) \ \
\ \ \
(b) ,
, and
. \ \
Number of people who watched the video after two months() is
. \ \
(c) .
