The weight in kilograms,W, of a female African elephant at age t years is given by W(t)=2600(1-0.51e^-0.075t). Estimate the age, to the nearest year, of an adult female African elephant weighing 1800 kilograms.
Ans:
Substituting for Weight as 1800 in the equation, we get

Simplifying



Taking natural logarithms of both sides


So age of the elephant rounded off to nearest year is 7 years.

Hope you got it :)
