The exponential model A=995e^0.02t describes the population, A, of a country in millions, t years after 2003. Use the model to determine when the population of the country will be 1057 million

Question

The population of the country will be 1057 million in_ (round to the nearest year as needed.) Thank you for all your help

Answer 1

1057/995 = e^.02t

take natural logs of both sides

.02t = ln(1057/995)

t = (ln(1057/995)/.02 = about 3.022

2003 + t = when population reaches 1057 million = about 2006
