Complete question :
The exponential model A=16.2e^0.01t describes the population, A, of a country in millions, t years after 2003. What was the population in 2003?
Answer:
16.2 million
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation :
A=16.2e^0.01^t
Where, t = number of years after 2003
The population in year 2003 ; can be obtained thus ;
t = 2003 - 2003 = 0
Put t = 0 in the equation :
A(0) =16.2e^0.01^0
A(0) = 16.2 * 1
A(0) = 16.2
Hence, population in 2003 is 16.2 million
