Question
The population​ (in thousands) of people of a city is growing according to the function P(t)=1400(2)^ 0.1041 t ​,where t is the number of years since
2002.
​(a) Find the population of the city in 2002 and in 2010.
​(b) Predict the population in 2017.
​(c) When will the population reach 5.6 ​million?
Expert Solution
Step 1: In this step we have mention the given details.

Solution- Given Function is,

P left parenthesis t right parenthesis equals 1400 left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis to the power of 0.1041 t end exponent
N o w space w e space w i l l space c a l c u l a t e space t h e space g i v e n space p a r t comma

a) Find the population of the city in 2002 and in 2010.

For popolation in 2002, put t = 0

P left parenthesis 0 right parenthesis equals 1400 left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis to the power of 0
w e space k n o w space 2 to the power of 0 equals 1
S o space p o p u l a t i o n space i n space 2002 space i s comma
P left parenthesis 0 right parenthesis equals 1400

Now population in 2010, t=2010-2002=>8

P left parenthesis 8 right parenthesis equals 1400 left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis to the power of 0.1041 asterisk times 8 end exponent
P left parenthesis 8 right parenthesis equals 1400 left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis to the power of 0.8328 end exponent P left parenthesis 8 right parenthesis equals 2493.59
bold italic P bold italic o bold italic p bold italic u bold italic l bold italic a bold italic t bold italic i bold italic o bold italic n bold space bold italic I bold italic n bold space bold 2010 bold space bold italic i bold italic s bold space bold 2494 bold.
