Question

The function P(t) = 21e^0.01823t represents the population of Texas, in millions, t years after 2000. What was the population of Texas in the year 2000? Write your answer in millions (for example 4,000,000 would be expressed as 4).

Answer 1

The population in the year 2000 is 21

How to determine the population in 2000?

The function is given as:

P(t) = 21e^0.01823t

The year 2000 is 0 years after 2000.

This means that

t = 0

So, we have:

P(0) = 21e^(0.01823 *0)

Evaluate the product

P(0) = 21e^0

Evaluate the expression

P(0) = 21

Hence, the population in the year 2000 is 21
