You can model the population of a Florida town between the years 1980 and 2015 by the function f(x) = 90,000(x − 1960) to the 1/2 power, where x is the year. In what year did the town have a population of 450,000?

Answer:


Explanation:

divide both sides by 90,000 then you get 5=(square root)x-1960 then you square both sides to get 25=x-1960. Add 1960 to both sides.

X=1985
