The population of a rural city follows the exponential growth model p(t)=2,600e^0.038t where t is the number of years after 1986. use this model to approximate the population in2035

ANSWER

The population of the rural city in 2035 is approximately 16735

EXPLANATION

The exponential equation that models the population of the rural city is

where t is the number of years after 1986.

To find the approximate population in 2035, we need to calculate the number of years that have passed.

We therefore subtract 1986 from 2035 to get,

2035-1986=49

We put t= 49 to obtain,

Hence the population of the rural city in 2035 is approximately 16735

this answer is !
