Question 1007371: The population N(t) (in millions) of India t years after 1985 may be approximated by the formula
N(t) = 766e^0.0182t.
When will the population reach 1.4 billion? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

N(t) is the population in millions.
So if N(t) = 1, then we have 1 million people. If N(t) = 2, then we have 2 million, etc.
1.4 billion = 1400 million

So if N(t) is in millions, then N(t) = 1400 represents 1.4 billion people.

This means that we need to solve N(t) = 1400 for t

The population will reach 1.4 billion people after 33.1 years. This will happen between the years 2018 and 2019
Note: 1985+33 = 2018
