a .
To complete: the table given below:
Year | Population |
1980 | |
1990 | |
2000 | |
2010 |
a .
Answer to Problem 29E
Year | Population |
1980 | 104,752 |
1990 | 143,251 |
2000 | 195,899 |
2010 | 267,896 |
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The population P (in thousands) is given by the model:
Where t represents the year, with
Calculation:
Consider the given population model:
Now, as
The population in year 1980:
Substitute
The population in year 1990:
Substitute
The population in year 2000:
Substitute
The population in year 2010:
Substitute
Since, the given population model gives the population in thousands, so the actual population is obtained by multiplying the value obtained for that year by 1000. Thus, the complete table is:
Year | Population |
1980 | 104,752 |
1990 | 143,251 |
2000 | 195,899 |
2010 | 267,896 |
b.
To find: the year when the population will reach 360,000
b.
Answer to Problem 29E
2019
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The population P (in thousands) is given by the model:
Where t represents the year, with
Formula used:
Calculation:
The given population model gives the population in thousands Substitute
Take natural logarithm on both sides,
Now,
That is, in the year 2019 population will be 360,000.
c.
To explain: is the model valid for long-term predictions of the population
c.
Answer to Problem 29E
No
Explanation of Solution
Observe the table obtained in part (a),
Year | Population |
1980 | 104,752 |
1990 | 143,251 |
2000 | 195,899 |
2010 | 267,896 |
It can be said that according to this population model, as the time t increases, the population is increasing very rapidy without any bound.
