(a)
To calculate: The function for the instantaneous rate of change of Alzheimer’s disease
(b)
To calculate: The instantaneous rate of change of the percent of the U.S population with Alzheimer’s disease in 2025 and estimate its interpretation also, if the baby boomer generation ages and the proportion of the U.S. population over 65 increases, the number of Americans with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia is projected to grow each year.
