Problema Solution
A town's population is decreasing. The population in the year 2000 was 4,000, and the population t years after 2000 can be found by using the function f(t)=4000(0.96)^t. What was the town's approximate population 2.5 years after the year 2000. Round to the nearest person.
Answer provided by our tutors
we need to find f(t)=4000(0.96)^t for t = 2.5
f(2.5) = 4000(0.96)^2.5
f(2.5) = 3,612 approximately
