- Good Day, Kindly assist me with the following query. Any assistance would be appreciated.arrow_forwardCan u give rough map of any room u can choose cm on toparrow_forward3. We'd like to know the first time when the population reaches 7000 people. First, graph the function from part (a) on your calculator or Desmos. In the same window, graph the line y = 7000. Notice that you will need to adjust your window so that you can see values as big as 7000! Investigate the intersection of the two graphs. (This video shows you how to find the intersection on your calculator, or in Desmos just hover the cursor over the point.) At what value t> 0 does the line intersect with your exponential function? Round your answer to two decimal places. (You don't need to show work for this part.) (2 points)arrow_forward
