the population (in millions) of a city t years from now is given by the indicated function. (a) find the relative rate of change of the population 7 years from now. (round your answer to one decimal place.) 1.8 % per year (b) will the relative rate of change ever reach 2.3%? yes no solution or explanation (a) (b) p(t)

Respuesta :

The relative rate of population change after seven years from now is a) 1.7 % (rounded off to 1 decimal place) b) Yes, the relative rate of population change will reach 2.3% in 19.21 years

The function for population t years from now is P(t)= 2+ 1.2e^(0.04t)

a) relative rate of change of population

= P'(t) / P(t)

= (0+1.2e^(0.04t) * 0.04 )/ ( 2+ 1.2e^(.04t) )

= 0.048 e ^(0.04t) / (2 + 1.2e^(0.04t) )

Relative rate of change of population 7 years from now

= 0.048 e ^(0.04 * 7) / (2+ 1.2e^(0.04*7))

=0.0177 = 0.177 * 100 = 1.7 % per year (rounded off to one decimal place

b) For the relative rate of change to reach 2.3 %

P'(t) / P(t) = 2.3 % = 0.023

⇒(0+1.2e^(0.04t) * 0.04 )/ ( 2+ 1.2e^(0.04t) ) = 0.023

⇒0.048e ^(0.04t) = 0.046 + 0.0267e^(0.04t)

⇒e ^(0.04t) = 0.958 + 0.556e ^(0.04t)

⇒e ^(0.04t) ( 1 - 0.556) = 0.958

⇒e ^(0.04t) ( 0.444) = 0.958

⇒e ^(0.04t) = 2.157

⇒0.04t = ln(2.157)           (applying ln on both sides)

⇒t = 19.21 years

The relative rate of population change is 2.3% in 19.21 years
