QuestionThe exponential function given by H(t)=80,034.64(1.0488)t\mathrm{H}(\mathrm{t})=80,034.64(1.0488)^{\mathrm{t}}, where t is the number of years after 2006, can be used to project the number of centenarians in a certain country. Use this function to project the centenarian population in this country in 2011 and in 2038.
The centenarian population in 2011 is approximately \square (Round to the nearest whole number.)

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The function given is H(t)=80,034.64(1.0488)t \mathrm{H}(\mathrm{t}) = 80,034.64(1.0488)^{\mathrm{t}} .
2. t \mathrm{t} is the number of years after 2006.
3. We need to find the centenarian population in 2011 and 2038.

STEP 2

1. Calculate the value of t \mathrm{t} for the year 2011.
2. Substitute t \mathrm{t} into the function to find the population in 2011.
3. Calculate the value of t \mathrm{t} for the year 2038.
4. Substitute t \mathrm{t} into the function to find the population in 2038.
5. Round the results to the nearest whole number.

STEP 3

Calculate t \mathrm{t} for the year 2011:
t=20112006=5 \mathrm{t} = 2011 - 2006 = 5

STEP 4

Substitute t=5 \mathrm{t} = 5 into the function:
H(5)=80,034.64×(1.0488)5 \mathrm{H}(5) = 80,034.64 \times (1.0488)^5

STEP 5

Calculate (1.0488)5 (1.0488)^5 :
(1.0488)51.2682 (1.0488)^5 \approx 1.2682

STEP 6

Calculate H(5) \mathrm{H}(5) :
H(5)=80,034.64×1.2682 \mathrm{H}(5) = 80,034.64 \times 1.2682 H(5)101,511.68 \mathrm{H}(5) \approx 101,511.68

STEP 7

Round H(5) \mathrm{H}(5) to the nearest whole number:
H(5)101,512 \mathrm{H}(5) \approx 101,512
The centenarian population in 2011 is approximately:
101,512 \boxed{101,512}
