Question

Sales representatives of a new line of computers predict that sales can be approximated by the function S(t) = 1200 + 540\\(31 + e),where t is measured in years. What are the predicted sales in 13 years? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

We have the function

`S(t)=1200+540\ln(31t+e)`

And we want to evaluate S(13), therefore

Here we must use a calculator to get the result

The predicted sales in 13 years are 4443 computers
