Question

The population P of a city can be modeled by P=240,360^0.012r where t=0 represents 2000. What is the population in the year 2000?

Answer 1

P(t) = 240360*e^ 0.012t

e^0.012t = P(t)/ 240360

0.012*t = ln(P(t)/ 240360)

t = (1/0.012)*ln(P(t)/ 240360)

If P(t)=275000 (time to use a calculator)

t = 11.22

t=0 is start of 2000, so the population will hit 275000 11.22 years later,

ie in about mid-March 2011 <<<
