Answer:

10.14 years

Explanation:

The following equation describes the percentage of all eligible voters that are registered to vote as a function of time:


V=100-30e^(-0.04t)

The time 't' for which V(t) = 80 is the amount of years required for the percentage of registered voters to reach 80%:


80=100-30e^(-0.04t)\\(20)/(30)= e^(-0.04t)\\ln((2)/(3))=-0.04t*ln(e)\\ t=10.14\ years

It will take 10.14 years until 80% of all eligible voters in your county are registered to vote
