Question

The exponential model A=429e 0.024t describes the​ population, A, of a country in​ millions, t years after 2003. Use the model to determine when the population of the country will be 559 million.

Answer 1

Answer:

Year 2,590

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the year at which the population of a country will be a certain amount given the exponential equation through which the equation proceeds.

Let’s rewrite the exponential function;

A = 429e^0.024t

Now here, our A is 559,000,000

t is unknown

Let’s substitute this value of A in the exponential equation;

559,000,000 = 429 * e^0.024t

559,000,000/429 = e^0.024t

1,303,030.303030303 = e^0.024t

Let’s take the logarithm of both sides to base e, we have;

ln(1,303,030.303030303) = ln(e^0.024t)

14.08 = 0.024t

t = 14.08/0.024

t = 587 years

Now, we add this to year 2003 and this gives year 2590
