In 1963, the number of cars in the U.S. was about 1.7 million. The number of cars grows at about 2.2% per year. Write an exponential equation to model this situation. Next find the number of cars in the year 1979 (round to one decimal place). Finally find out what year (round to the nearest year) it would have been when the number of cars reached 2.9 million. Show all work.
