Answer:
- D. 24736 people and 29 years
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The model given is:</u>
<u>Population in 2020, t = 20</u>
- P = 16581*e^(0.02*20) = 24736 people (rounded)
<u>Population of 30000:</u>
- 30000 = 16581*e^(0.02t)
- e^(0.02t) = 30000/16581
- e^(0.02t) = 1.80929
- ln e^(0.02t) = ln 1.80929
- 0.02t = 0.5929
- t = 0.5929/0.02
- t = 29.645 ≈ 29 years
Correct choice is D
Answer: -3, -1, 0, 2, |4|, |-8|
The absolute values would be positive, which would lead to them being after the 0.
