Answer 2

Answer:

• k= 0.8936

• P = 53198890

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2008

• t = 8
• P= 7000

As per equation, P = 5.5e^kt

• 7000 = 5.5e^(8k)
• e^(8k) = 7000/5.5
• e^(8k) = 1272.7272
• ln e^8k = ln 1272.7272
• 8k = 7.14891
• k= 7.14891/8
• k= 0.8936

In 2018, t= 18, k= 0.8936

• P = 5.5e^(18*0.8936)
• P = 53198890
