Answer 1

`P(t) = 29816591(1.025)^(t-5)`

Explanation:

Equation:

The equation for the population of California, in t years after 1990, is given by:

`P(t) = 29816591(1.025)^t`

In which 29816591 is the initial population, that is, the population in 1990.

From 1995:

First, we have to find the population in 1995(5 years after 1990), which is P(5), which we will consider as the initial value in the equation.

So

`P(5) = 29816591(1.025)^5 = 33734736`

So

Since t is still given in years after 1990, we have to subtract t by 1995 - 1990 = 5 in the exponent. So

`P(t) = 29816591(1.025)^(t-5)`
