P(t)=∫33e0.012tdt = (33/0.012)e0.012t+C = 2750e0.012t+C
P(0) = 5200 = 2750+C
C = 2450
P(t) = 2750e0.012t+2450
P(2020-1990) = 2750e0.012(30)+2450 ≈ 6392
Alecia S.
asked 06/11/23the population of a town is increasing at a rate given by
P′(t)=33e0.012t,
where P is the population t years after the beginning of 1990. If the population at the
beginning of 1990 was
5200,
then estimate the population at the beginning of the year 2020.
