Problema Solution

The number of Internet users I in millions during year x, where x is equal to or greater than 2000, can be approximated by the following formula.

I=108x-215,445

Approximate the year in which there were 1090 million Internet users for the first time. (Round to the nearest year)

Answer provided by our tutors

I = 108X - 215445

Given I=1090 million users

1090 = 108X - 215445

=>1090+215445=108X

=>216535=108X

=>X=216535/108

=>X= 2004.9 ~ 2005 year
