Question

The exponential model A = 999.8 0.002t describes the population, A, of a country' in millions, t years after 2003. Use

Answer 1

The population of the country will be 1051 million in 2014

How to model the population of the country?

The exponential model that describes the population of a country' in millions, t years after 2003 is given as:

A = 999.8 e0.002t

Rewrite the function properly as:

A = 999.8 * e^(0.002t)

When the population of the country is 1051 million, it means that:

A = 1051

Substitute the known values in the above equation

So, we have:

1051 =  999.8 * e^(0.002t)

Divide both sides by 999.8

1.0512 = e^(0.002t)

Take the natural logarithm of both sides of the equation

ln(1.0512) = ln(e^(0.002t)

Rewrite the equation as:

ln(e^(0.002t) = log(1.0512)

This gives

0.002t = log(1.0512)

Evaluate the logarithmic expression

0.002t = 0.0216

Divide both sides of the equation by 0.002

t = 0.0216/0.002

Evaluate the quotient

t = 10.8

Approximate 10.8 as 11

t = 11

11 years from 2003 is 2014

Hence, the population of the country will be 1051 million in 2014
