Question

The total number of public electric charging units available for hybrid vehicles has increased exponentially since t_0. The number of outlets a(t)a(t) at these alternative fueling stations tt years after can be approximated by a(t) =ae^kt, where t_0 corresponds to a_0 .How many outlets were available in t_0, in t_1 , in t_2

​
?

Answer 1

To find the number of outlets available in t_0, t_1, and t_2, we can use the equation a(t) = ae^kt and substitute the corresponding values of t.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of outlets available in t_0 can be found by plugging in t = t_0 into the equation a(t) = ae^kt. Since the total number of outlets available has increased exponentially, we can assume that the value of a(t) = a_0 is the initial number of outlets at t = t_0. Therefore, a_0 = a(t_0).

To find the number of outlets available in t_1, we plug in t = t_1 into the equation a(t) = ae^kt. Similarly, to find the number of outlets available in t_2, we plug in t = t_2 into the equation a(t) = ae^kt.
