Question 682835: I have a problem I can not figure out. In 1975, Visalia had a population of 65,000. In 2000 the population was 99,500. Assuming exponential growth, estimate the population in the 2015. Use A=A0e^kt

For , --> --> -->
is the population at whatever time we decide to take as .
Taking 1975 as time zero, , is a good choice.
In 1975, ,
Visalia had a population of 65,000,
Now we can write the exponential function as
,
but we still have to find .
In 2000, ,
and the population was 99,500,
so --> --> --> --> (rounded approximation)
Now we can write the exponential function as
.
In the year 2015, , and we estimate
--> --> --> .
