Question

At the start of 2010, an online social group had 360 million members. Subsequently, new members joined at a rate of roughly

m(t) = −6.6t2 + 16t + 250 million members per year    (0 ≤ t ≤ 5),

where t is time in years since the start of 2010.

(a) Find an expression for the total online social group membership
M(t)
at time t. HINT [See Example 6.]
M(t) =
 
 


(b) Use the answer to part (a) to estimate the online social group membership midway through 2013. (Round your answer to the nearest 1 million members.)
M(3.5) = million members
