Let P(t) be the population of a certain city in Colorado. Suppose that this population is modeled by the function P(t) = 2150 e^0.4t, where t is time in years. In how many years will the city's population reach 15,000? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. 48 years

The population of a city is modeled by the equation P(t) = 272,652e^0.1t where t is measured in years. If the city continues to grow at this rate, how many years will it take for the population to reach one million? Round your answer to the nearest year. The population will reach one million in years.

The population of a small town is modeled by the equation P = 1150e^(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.)

The population $P$ of a city grows exponentially according to the function $$ P(t)=8500(1.1)^{\prime}, \quad 0 \leq t \leq 8 $$ where $t$ is measured in years. a. Find the population at time $t=0$ and also at time $t=2$ b. When, to the nearest year, will the population reach $15,000 ?$
