A cell site is a site where electronic communications equipment is placed in a cellular network for the use of mobile phones. The numbers y of cell sites from 1985 through 2014 can be modeled by 320,150 y = 1+ 373e 0.251t where t represents the year, with t = 5 corresponding to 1985. (a) Use the model to find the numbers of cell sites in the years 1998, 2003, and 2006. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.) 1998 y = cell sites 2003 y = cell sites 2006 y = cell sites (b) Use a graphing utility to graph the function. y 350000 - 350000 300000 300000 WebAssign Plot 250000 250000 200000 200000 150000 150000 100000 100000 50 000- 50 000 10 15 20 25 30 35 10 15 20 25 30 35 350000 - 350000- 300000 300000
