Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP, THANK YOU!

Answer 1

After 3 years, the library will have approximately 9,809 books.

Explanation:

If
`t` represents the number of years passed, in the time of 3 years, the library shall have
`8700e^(0.04*3) = 8700e^(0.12)` ≈
`8700*1.12749` ≈
`9,809` books.

Answer 2

Option (1)

Explanation:

Exponential equation that models the increase in the number of books has been given as,

`B=8700e^(0.04t)`

Here, B = Number of books

t = Number of years

Number of books after t = 3,

`B=8700* e^(0.04* 3)`

`=8700* e^(0.12)`

= 9809.226

≈ 9809

Therefore, Option (1) will be the correct option.
