Question 729437: The population of a town increases according to the model: P(t)=2500e^(0.0293t), in which t is the time in years with t=0 corresponding to 1990. Use the model to estimate the population in
2025
(The 0.0293t is an entire exponent.)
An explanation would be really nice :)
Thanks!

The solution is nothing more than substituting the given or known values and finding P(t).

The year 2025 would correspond to t=2025-1990, or t=35. Your result would come from P%2835%29=2500%2Ae%5E%280.0293%2A35%29.
