At a certain time (in years), the population (in thousands) of a small city is given by the function p(t) = 225 + (320t)/(t^2 + 15). Find the rate of change of the population after 6 years, rounded to 2 decimals.

In t years, the population of a certain city grows from 800,000 to a size P given by P(t) = 800,000 + 6000t^2. a) Find the growth rate, dP/dt. b) Find the population after 15 years. c) Find the growth rate at t = 15. d) Explain the meaning of the answer to part (c).

The population of a small town is modeled by the equation P = 1450e^(0.5t), where t is measured in years. In approximately how many years will the town's population reach 20,000? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
