In 2010, County A had a population of 1.3 million people. The largest factory in the area produced 1700 million widgets per year. The population of County A is projected to grow at 1.2% per year, and the number of widgets produced is expected to grow by 10 million per year.

The graph of y=1700+10x/1.3(1.012)^x
represents the annual widget production per person for County A from 2010 to 2020, where x is the number of years after 2010. The next-highest widget-producing county produces widgets at a constant rate of 1200 widgets per person. Use a graphing calculator to extend the graph and find the year when County A will no longer be the leader in widget production.
