Question

In 2000, the population of Big Springs was 13 thousand. Use the given doubling

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is "26179.4".

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume year 2000 as t, that is  t =0.

Formula:

$A= A_0e^{rt}$

Where,

$A_0 = \ initial \ pop \\\\r= \ rate \ in \ decimal \\\\t= \ time \ in \ year$

for doubling time,

$r = \frac{log (2)}{t}$

$r = \frac{\log (2)}{ 40} \\\\r= \frac{0.301}{40}\\\\r= 0.007$

Given value:

$A = A_0e^{rt}$

$A_0 = 13000$

$t= 40 \ years$

when year is 2000, t=0 so, year is 2100 year as t = 100.

$A = 13000 \times e^{et}\\\\A = 13000 \times e^{e \times t}\\\\A = 13000 \times e^{0.007 \times 100}\\\\A = 13000 \times e^{0.7}\\\\A= 13000\times 2.0138\\\\A = 26179.4$
