Answer:
The year in which the population of Los Angeles reached 2.6 million is 1965.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the approximate population y (in millions) of Los Angeles between 1950 and 2000 is given by:

y = Population(in millions)
We are supposed to find the year in which the population of Los Angeles reached 2.6 million.
Substitute y = 2.6

The real solution is x=14.77≈15
We are given that 0 corresponds to 1950.
So, 15 corresponds to 1965
Hence the year in which the population of Los Angeles reached 2.6 million is 1965.
Just has to be greater than or equal to 0... w and t can never be negative since taking the square root of a negative number yields an imaginary number which would mean imaginary current. Also the question states that w can't be zero but if T is zero than the current will be zero.
