Hello,
Can anyone assist with the following problem;
A wild new fashion in clothes is introduced. It spreads slowly through the population at first but then speeds up as more people become aware of it. Eventually, however, the pool of those willing to try new fashions begins to dry up and while the number of people adopting the new fashion continues to increase, it does so at a decreasing rate. Later, the fashion goes ‘out’ and disappears very quickly, although a few stragglers never give it up.
Sketch a graph of the relationship between number of people who wear the fashion and time. To help you do this invent some realistic numbers of such an event your suburb, town or community. Note that this function will not look like any of the standard functions you have drawn and you will not be able to get an equation for it.
I created a graph with some made up values based on Jan - Dec 2015 following the guidance in paragraph 1 above but the sentence 'Eventually, however, the pool of those willing to try new fashions begins to dry up and while the number of people adopting the new fashion continues to increase, it does so at a decreasing rate' is confusing me and feel my solution is to simple for what it being asked.
