The development of AstroWorld ("The Amusement Park of the Future") on the outskirts of a city will increase the city's population at the rate of $$ 4500 \sqrt{t}+1000 $$ people/year, $t$ yr from the start of construction. The population before construction is $30,000 .$ Determine the projected population 9 yr after construction of the park has begun.

Key Concepts

Initial Value Problems

An initial value problem involves solving a differential equation that describes how a quantity changes over time, along with an initial condition that specifies the starting value. This initial value is then used in conjunction with the integrated rate function to obtain an explicit expression for the quantity at any given time.

Population Dynamics Modeling

Population dynamics modeling is the process of using mathematical tools to analyze and predict changes in a population. It often involves setting up differential equations based on rates of change and integrating these equations, then applying initial conditions to project future population sizes under various scenarios.

Rate of Change Functions

This concept involves using a function that represents how a quantity, such as a population, changes over time. In many contexts, including population dynamics, the rate of change function is essentially the derivative of the overall function describing the total population, indicating how quickly the population increases or decreases at any given moment.

Definite Integration

Definite integration is a calculus technique used to calculate the total accumulation of a quantity over an interval. When a rate function is integrated between two time points, the result gives the net change in the quantity over that period, which is crucial in transforming a rate of change into an actual growth or decline measurement.
