Question

The number of camera phones shipped globally can be modeled by the function y = 1.28e 1.31x where x is the number of years since 1997 and y is the number of camera phones shipped (in millions). How many camera phones were shipped in 2002? Please helpASAP

Answer 1

895 million camera phones

Explanation:

Since the function is modeled by;

y=1.28e^1.31x

Now between 1997 - 2002 we have 5 years. This means that x =5. So we have to substitute x = 5 into the function to obtain the number of camera phones shipped in 2002.

Therefore;

y=1.28e^1.31(5)

y = 895 million camera phones
