Question 1040462: This is all ONE problem.
The population of a certain species of fish has a relative growth rate of 1.5% per year. It is estimated that the population in 2010 was 12 million.
(a) Find an exponential model
n(t) = n0ert for the population (in millions) t years after 2010. MY WRONG ANSWER, 11e^(0.015t).
(b) Estimate the fish population in the year 2015. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) MY WRONG ANSWER 13.776.
(c) After how many years will the fish population reach 14 million? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) MY WRONG ANSWER 84.8.
