The population of Ohio will be 10 million in the year 1970
The population growth of Ohio is represented by the function:
[tex]P(t)=\frac{12.79}{1+2.402e^{-}0.0309t}[/tex]
P is the population in millions
t is the number of years since 1900
To find the year that the population of Ohio will be 10 million, substitute P = 10 into the function P(t) and solve for t
[tex]10=\frac{12.79}{1+2.402e^{-}0.0309t}\\\\10(1+2.402e^{-}0.0309t)=12.79\\\\1+2.402e^{-}0.0309t=\frac{12.79}{10} \\\\1+2.402e^{-}0.0309t=1.279\\\\2.402e^{-}0.0309t=1.279-1\\\\2.402e^{-}0.0309t = 0.279\\\\e^{-}0.0309t =\frac{0.279}{2.402} \\\\e^{-}0.0309t =0.116\\\\-0.0309t=ln0.116\\\\-0.0309t=-2.154\\\\t=\frac{-2.154}{-0.0309} \\\\t=69.7[/tex]
t = 70 years (to the nearest whole number)
70 years after 1900 will be 1970
Therefore, the population of Ohio will be 10 million in the year 1970
