3. On a college campus of 5000 students, one student returns from vacation with a contagious and long-lasting flu virus. The spread of the virus is modeled by 5000 F(t)= -0.81 1+4999e-0S where F(1) is the total number of students infected after t days. The college will cancel classes if 40% or more of the students are infected. (a) Graph the function and sketch the curve, label an appropriate domain and range. (b) How many students are infected after 5 days? (c) After how many days will the college cancel classes?
