Question

The population of a certain inner-city area is estimated to be declining according to the model P(t)=259,000e−0.012t, where t is the number of years from the present. What does this model predict the population will be in 13 years? Round to the nearest person.

Answer 1

259000 people

Explanation:

Since t is the number of years, you sub 13 into the equation as t,

P(13)=259,000e−0.012(13)

= 258999.844 (round since its people --> 259000)
