The following equation: P=149t+3900 gives the total population,P , of a small city t years after 1980. Use the equation to determine when (what year) the population reached a population of 5241 people. Answer: The population reached a total of 5241 people in the year
Added by Margaret P.
Step 1
So, 5241 = 149t + 3900. Subtract 3900 from both sides to get: 1341 = 149t. Show more…

The population of a town is increasing at a rate given by P'(t) = 54 e^{0.019t}, where P is the population t years after the beginning of 1990. If the population at the beginning of 1990 was 4100, then estimate the population at the beginning of the year 2020. ROUND TO THE NEAREST PERSON.

The population of a city is modeled with the function P = 250,000e^0.013t, where t is the number of years since 2000. In what year will the population reach 450,000?

The population of a city can be modeled using the equation p = 40,000(9/10)^x. One year, the population was 23,620. What was the population a year later?
