The populations P (in thousands) of a certain city from 2000 through 2008 can be modeled by P = 283.86ekt

The populations P (in thousands) of a certain city from 2000 through 2008 can be modeled by P = 283.86ekt,

where t is the year, with t = 0 corresponding to 2000. In 2006, the population was about 365,000.


(a) Find the value of k for the model. Round your result to four decimal places.

k = (i got this one correct) 0.0419


(b) Use your model to predict the population in 2015. (Round your answer to the nearest person.)

P =
