Chapter 4.1, Problem 3E

Reminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated.

Solar Panels In $2007$, there were about $3.8\text{gigawatts}$ of solar photovoltaic installations. From $2007$ through $2014$, the industry showed exponential growth factor of $1.45$.

a. Make an exponential; model that shows the photovoltaic installations $P$, in gigawatts, at a time $t\text{years}$ after $2007$.

b. Use this model to estimate the photovoltaic installations in $2006$.
