The growth of a certain species (in millions) since 1980 closely fits the following exponential function where t is the number of years since 1980. 0.01661 A(t) = 3200 e a. Use the function to approximate the population of the species in 2000. (The actual population in 2000 was about 4570 million) b. Estimate the population of the species in the year 2015. a. The approximate population in 2000 is million. (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.) b. The approximate population in 2015 is million. (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.)
