Question 1159618: Sales or portable MP3 players grew approximately exponentially from $0.09 billion in 200 to $1.26 billion in 2004. Predict the sales of MP3 players in 2008. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let 2000=0 and 2004=4
A=Aob^t, and Ao=0.09
1.26=0.09*b^4
14=b^4
b=1.934
in 2008, A=0.09*1.934^8=$17.615 billion
