Population Growth. The population $P$, in thousands, of a senior community is given by $$P(t)=\frac{500 t}{2 t^{2}+9}$$ where $t$ is the time, in months. a) Graph the function on the interval $[0, \infty)$ b) Find the population at $t=0,1,3,$ and 8 months. c) Find the horizontal asymptote of the graph and complete the following: $$P(t) \rightarrow \square \text { as } t \rightarrow \infty$$ d) Explain the meaning of the answer to part (c) in terms of the application. e) Find the maximum population and the value of $t$ that will yield it.

00:01 Hi there, so for this problem, we are given that the population function is equal to 1 ,100 times 1 .039, and this elevated to the times 2.
00:17 Okay, so this is the population of a community.
00:20 Now, for part a of this problem, we are asked to evaluate this at zero.
00:26 Okay? so that will be 1 ,100 times 1 .039 and that to the 0.
00:34 We know that any number elevated to 0 is 1.
00:37 So from this we obtain that the population at the time equals to 0 is 1 ,0 and 110.
00:45 Now later we are asked about to evaluate this after 10 years.
00:49 So that will be 1 ,100.
00:52 And then we have 1 .039 and that elevated to.
00:57 To 10.
00:58 So let's see what we obtained from this using our calculator.
01:06 So the value that we obtained from this is 1 ,612.
01:12 We need to retain at least three decimal places, so that will be six...
