The rat population in major metropolitan city is given by the formula n(t)=89e^0.02t where t is measured in years since 1991 and n(t) is measured in millions. What does the model predict the rat population was in the year 2007?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  122.6 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure the value of t, then put that into the formula and do the arithmetic.

  t = 2007 =1991 = 16

  n(16) = 89e^(0.02·16) = 89·e^0.32 ≈ 122.6

The model predicts a rat population of 122.6 million in 2007.
