Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the rat population in 1993?

⇒ Number of years since = 0 ⇒ t = 0

⇒ Apply in the formula

⇒ n(0) = 73e^(0.02 × 0)

⇒ n(0) = 73e⁰

⇒ n(0) = 73,000,000 rats

=============================================================

What does the model predict the rat population was in the year 2009?

⇒ Number of years since 1993 : 2009 - 1993 = 16 ⇒ t = 16

⇒ Applying in the formula

⇒ n(16) = 73e^(0.02 × 16)

⇒ n(16) = 73e^(0.32)

⇒ n(16) = 73 × 1.37712776 × 10⁶

⇒ n(16) = 100.530326 x 10⁶

⇒ n(16) = 100,530,326 rats

Answer:

Given function:  

[tex]\large \text{$ n(t)=73e^{0.02t} $}[/tex]

where:

  • t is the number of years since 1993
  • n(t) is the rat population measured in millions

To calculate the rat population in 1993, substitute [tex]t = 0[/tex] into the function:

[tex]\large \begin{aligned}\implies n(0) & =73e^{0.02(0)}\\& = 73 \cdot 1\\& = 73 \sf \: million\end{aligned}[/tex]

To calculate a prediction of the rat population in 2009, first determine the value of t by subtracting the initial year of 1993 from the given year of 2009:

[tex]\large \text{$ \implies t=2009-1993=16 $}[/tex]

Substituting the found value of t into the function to find the predicted number of rats in 2009:

[tex]\large \begin{aligned}\implies n(16) & =73e^{0.02(16)}\\& = 73e^{0.32}\\& = 100.5303268...\\ & = 100.5 \sf \: million\:(1\:dp)\end{aligned}[/tex]
