How are the transmission, prevention, and treatment of infectious diseases similar to and different from these processes in other diseases?

Explanation:

Note, diseases that are classified as infectious diseases according to the Mayoclinic "are disorders caused by organisms — such as bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. Many organisms live in and on our bodies. They're normally harmless or even helpful. But under certain conditions, some organisms may cause disease."

Transmission:

Prevention: The following are common prevention methods recommended by most health experts;

9.9 years

a = p(1 + rt) . . account balance after time t at rate r starting with principal p

3000 = 2500(1 + 0.0202t) . . filling in the given numbers

1.2 = 1 + 0.0202t . . divide by 2500

0.2 = 0.0202t . . . subtract 1

0.2/0.0202 = t ≈ 9.901

it will take about 9.9 years for the account balance to reach $3000.
