You can put this solution on YOUR website! The formula A = 182e^0.025t models the population of a particular city, in thousands, t years after 1998. When will the population of the city reach 211 thousand?
--------------
211 = 182e^(0.025t)
1.15934.. = e^(0.0256t)
Take the natural log of both sides to get:
0.0256t = 0.0147851..
t = 5.7754..
-----------------
1998 + 5.7754 = 2003.77..
-------------------
Ans: 211 thousand in 2004
