The population of the town in 1960 is 48.80 thousands
<h3>How to determine the population in 1950?</h3>
The equation of the model is given as:
f(t) = 42e^(0.015t)
1960 is 10 years after 1950.
This means that:
t = 10
Substitute t = 10 in f(t) = 42e^(0.015t)
f(10) = 42e^(0.015 * 10)
Evaluate
f(10) = 48.80
Hence, the population of the town in 1960 is 48.80 thousands
