A town has an initial population of 65,000. It grows at a constant rate of 3,500 per year for 4 years.
When will the output reach 100,000? (The answer may be outside of the reasonable domain.)
----------------------
A(t) = 65000 + 3500t
----
Solve::
100,000 = 65000 + 3500t
35000 = 3500t
t = 10 years
