In 2000, the population of Big Springs was 13 thousand. Use the given doubling
time to predict the population in 2100. Assume a doubling time of 40 years.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is "26179.4".

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume year 2000 as t, that is  t =0.

Formula:

[tex]A= A_0e^{rt}[/tex]

Where,

[tex]A_0 = \ initial \ pop \\\\r= \ rate \ in \ decimal \\\\t= \ time \ in \ year[/tex]

for doubling time,

[tex]r = \frac{log (2)}{t} \\[/tex]

[tex]r = \frac{\log (2)}{ 40} \\\\r= \frac{0.301}{40}\\\\r= 0.007[/tex]

Given value:

[tex]A = A_0e^{rt} \\\\[/tex]

[tex]A_0 = 13000[/tex]

[tex]t= 40 \ years[/tex]

when year is 2000, t=0 so, year is 2100 year as t = 100.

[tex]A = 13000 \times e^{et}\\\\A = 13000 \times e^{e \times t}\\\\A = 13000 \times e^{0.007 \times 100}\\\\A = 13000 \times e^{0.7}\\\\A= 13000\times 2.0138\\\\A = 26179.4[/tex]
