t = 
isolate t by dividing both sides by Pr
= t ⇒ t = 
Answer:
In the year 2010

we have

where
A is the population in thousands
t is the number of years since 1998
so
For A=297 thousands

simplify

Apply ln both sides
![ln(1.485)=ln[e^{0.033t}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=ln%281.485%29%3Dln%5Be%5E%7B0.033t%7D%5D)

Remember that




1998+12=2010
