Question

Suppose a county’s population can be approximated with the function () = 34(1.00804) where is the number of years since 2000, and is measured in millions of citizens.

Answer 1

Population = 34.27336

Explanation:

Given:

Population function (t) = 34(1.00804)^t

Number of year = 2000

Find:

Number of citizen in year 2000

Computation:

We know that, base year is 2000

So, t = 1

Population function (t) = 34(1.00804)^t

Population function (1) = 34(1.00804)^1

Population = 34(1.00804)

Population = 34.27336

Therefore, Population is 34.273636 million
