Answer:
a) 5941.88 millions
b) 12826.70 millions
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
[tex]R(t) = 163.82(1.2924)^t[/tex]
where R(t) is the revenues R (in millions of dollars) and e t is the time in years with t = 0 corresponding to 2000.
a) revenue in the year 2014
We put t = 14 in the model.
Putting values we get,
[tex]R(t) = 163.82(1.2924)^{14} = 5941.88[/tex]
Thus, the revenue is approximately 5941.88 millions in 2014.
b) revenue in the year 2017
We put t = 17 in the model.
Putting values we get,
[tex]R(t) = 163.82(1.2924)^{17} = 12826.70[/tex]
Thus, the revenue is approximately 12826.70 millions in 2017.
