Problema Solution

Suppose the Population of a city is given by the formula P=100,000e^0.05t

where t is the number of years from the present time. How large is the population now? (Now corresponds to a certain value of t. Once you realise what that value of t is, the problem becomes very simple)

Answer provided by our tutors

the number of years from present time is 0 thus t = 0


P = 100,000 e^(0.05*0)


P = 100,000 is the population now.
