Answer:

  • P = -390t +48,000
  • P = 43,710 in 2003

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We are given two pairs of (t, P): (0, 48000), (8, 44880). We can use these with the 2-point form of the equation of a line:

  y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1

  P = (44880 -48000)/(8 -0)(t -0) +48000

  P = -3120/8t +48000

  P = -390t +48000

__

B) In 2003, t = 11, so we have ...

  P = -390(11) +48000 = 43710

The population in 2003 is predicted to be 43,710.
