To calculate the population in 2016, we shall proceed as follows;
population growth follows an exponential growth formula given by:
f(t)=ae^(kt)
where:
f(t)=future population
a=initial population
k=constant of proportionality;
suppose in 2011, t=0 and in 2016, t=5; k=11.5%=0.115, a=4.8 million
thus the population in 2016 will be:
f(t)=4.8e^(0.115t)
thus;
f(5)=4e^(0.115*5)
=22.44
N/B the population is in millions
thus;
the population in 2016 will be:
22.44 million

How do I solve the equation in an interval from 0 to 2π ? 9 cos 2t = 6​
Ivahew [28]

9\cos(2t)=6\implies\cos(2t)=\dfrac23

Using the fact that cos is 2π-periodic, we have

\cos(2t)=\dfrac23\implies2t=\cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac23\right)+2n\pi

That is, \cos(\theta+2n\pi)=\cos\theta for any \theta and integer n.

\implies t=\dfrac12\cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac23\right)+n\pi

We get 2 solutions in the interval [0, 2π] for n=0 and n=1,

t=\dfrac12\cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac23\right)\text{ and }t=\dfrac12\cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac23\right)+\pi
