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?
Added by Benjamin P.
Step 1
To do this, we can set P equal to 450,000 and solve for t: 450,000 = 250,000e^(0.013t) Now, we need to isolate t. We can start by dividing both sides of the equation by 250,000: 1.8 = e^(0.013t) Show more…

A certain city has a population of P = 142,000e^(0.014t) where t is the time in years and t = 0 is the year 1990. In what year will the city have a population of 200,000?

The population of a city can be modeled by P(t) = 24e^0.06t thousand persons, where t is the number of years after 2000. Approximately how rapidly will the city's population be changing in 2026? The population will be changing by thousand persons/year. (Enter your answer rounded to at least three 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 $15,000 ?$
