Question

Revenues of software publishers in a country for the years 2008-2017 can be modeled by the function $S(x) = 91.412e^{0.05205x}$, where \$x = 8$ represents 2008, $x = 9$ represents 2009, and so on, and $S(x)$ is in billions of dollars. Approximate, to the nearest unit, revenue for 2017. The total revenue for the year 2017 was approximately $\boxed{}$ billion. (Simplify your answer. Round to the nearest billion dollars as needed.)

Step 1

To find the value of x for the year 2017, we can use the formula x = K + (year - 2008). So for 2017, x = 8 + (2017 - 2008) = 8 + 9 = 17. Show more…
