The population of a small country increases according to the function B=1,800,000 e 0.05t, where t is measured in years. How many people will the country have after 8 years?

Solution

The population of a small country increases according to the function B =1,800,000 e^0.05t, where t is measured in years. Then, after 8 years, the population will be 1,800,000 e^0.05*8= 1,800,000 e^0.40= 1,800,000*1.4918247= 2685284 ( on rounding off to the nearest whole number). Thus, the country will have 2685284 people after 8 years.
