QuestionFind the population of a city in the Philippines after 20 years using the model A=50e0.07tA=50 e^{0.07 t}.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The population growth model is A=50e0.07tA=50 e^{0.07 t} . The population is measured in thousands3. tt is the time in years after1997

STEP 2

To find the population after20 years, we need to substitute t=20t=20 into the exponential growth model.
A=50e0.07×20A =50 e^{0.07 \times20}

STEP 3

First, calculate the exponent.
0.07×20=1.0.07 \times20 =1.So, the equation becomesA=50e1.A =50 e^{1.}

STEP 4

Now, calculate the value of e1.4e^{1.4}.
e1.44.0552e^{1.4} \approx4.0552So, the equation becomesA=50×4.0552A =50 \times4.0552

STEP 5

Finally, calculate the population after20 years.
A=50×4.0552=202.76A =50 \times4.0552 =202.76The population of the city in the Philippines after20 years is approximately202,760 (since the population is measured in thousands).
