SOLUTION: Could someone help me with this problem? Suppose a town experiences population decline that can be modeled by the following:(a) p=po/(t+1) where t is the number of years from 2010

Question 404721: Could someone help me with this problem? Suppose a town experiences population decline that can be modeled by the following:(a) p=po/(t+1) where t is the number of years from 2010 and the population is 2000.(b) Fill in the chart.(c)Use the equation from part a to determine how many years it would take for the population to reach 400. Round to two decimal places if necessary.

Suppose a town experiences population decline that can be modeled by the following:(a) P(t) = Po/(t+1) where t is the number of years from 2010 and the population is 2000.
==========================
(b) Fill in the chart.
t=0
(2010 ):: 2000
--------
t=1
(2011)::: 2000/2 = 1000
--------
t=2
(2012)::: 2000/3 = 667
--------
t=3
(2013)::: 2000/4 = 500
-------------
t=6
(2016)::: 2000/6 = 286
===============================
(c)Use the equation from part a to determine how many years it would take for the population to reach 400. Round to two decimal places if necessary.
year(t) population (p)
400 = 2000/(t+1)
t+1 = 2000/400
t+1 = 5
t = 4 years
