Question: Figure shows the spread of the Code-red computer virus during July 2001. Most of the growth took place starting at midnight on July 19; on July 20, the virus attacked the White House, trying (unsuccessfully) to knock its site off-line. The number of computers infected by the virus was a logistic function of time.
(a) Estimate the limiting value of f(t) as t increased. What does this limiting value represent in terms of Code-red?
(b) Estimate the value of t at which f''(t) = 0. Estimate the value of n at this time.
(c) What does the answer to part (b) tell us about Codered?
(d) How are the answers to parts (a) and (b) related?
