Answer 1

Complete question :

The exponential model A=16.2e^0.01t describes the population, A, of a country in millions, t years after 2003. What was the population in 2003?

Answer:

16.2 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation :

A=16.2e^0.01^t

Where, t = number of years after 2003

The population in year 2003 ; can be obtained thus ;

t = 2003 - 2003 = 0

Put t = 0 in the equation :

A(0) =16.2e^0.01^0

A(0) = 16.2 * 1

A(0) = 16.2

Hence, population in 2003 is 16.2 million
