d. 516 chickens
a.


Sagot :

Answer: A. 3560 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

Plugged in the 6 days into the equation provided

Birds will be infected with the Flu after 6 days will be 3560 chickens

What is exponential?

An exponential function is a mathematical function of the following form: f ( x ) = a^x. where x is a variable, and a is a constant called the base of the function.

Given function: y = 6000(1 - [tex]e^{-0.15t}[/tex])

Total birds are =6000

Now, take t= 6 days.

So, y = 6000(1 - [tex]e^{-0.15t}[/tex])

y= 6000(1- [tex]e^{-0.15 * 6}[/tex])

 = 6000 (1-0.40656)

 = 6000*0.59343

 = 3560.58204

 = 3560 birds

Hence, 3560 birds get infected in 6 days.
