The SIR model of pandemics (such as COVID-19) considers three variables: S (thosesusceptible to the disease) I (those infected with the disease), and R (those recovered orremoved from the illness). This model has a system of three differential equations, one forthe derivative of each variable. We viewed the video entitled "The Coronavirus Curve -Numberphile," and we also rebuilt this model in Geogebra ourselves.That model includes two constants, "transm" and "recov:" use Ct instead of "transm," anduse cr instead of "recov." In Geogebra, we could tweak these values.a. In this system, what is the equation for S'(t) = dS/dt?b. In this system, what is the equation for I'(t) = dI/dt?c. In this system, what is the equation for R'(t) = dR/dt?d. Who made this video?

a) Equation for S'(t) dS/dt=-aSI b)Equation for I'(t) dI/dt=-aSI-bI c)Equation for R'(t)…
