On a high school campus of 1,500 students, one student spreads a rumor about a high school prank. The total number of students on the campus that hear the rumor after t hours is modeled by R(t)=1500/1+49e^−0.23t . According to this model, how many students initially heard this rumor?

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

i think we set t = 0, then solve.

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

so then would it be 1500/49+1 because e^0=1

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

Yep.

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

so 1500/50?

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

Might wanna get someone else on this...not completely sure.

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

hmm can i ask you another question on this thats a bit more simple den

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

Sure.

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

The most students that could ever hear this rumor is 2,000. Is this not false because the most that could hear is 1500?

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

Seems false.

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
