Given that the population can be modeled by P=22000+125t, to get the number of years after which the population will be 26000, we proceed as follows: P=26000 substituting this in the model we get: 26000=22000+125t solving for t we get: t=4000/125 t=32 therefore t=32 years This means it will take 32 years for the population to be 32 years. Thus the year in the year 2032
