QUESTION 2
The population of a particular city, established in
1970, is growing exponentially according to the
model:
P Ae kt
where P is the population in 1 000s at time t
A and k are constants.
(Note that in 1970, t = 0).
It is given that in 1975 the population was 596 000
and in 1985 it was 889 000.
2.1 Calculate the values of A and k respectively. (7)
2.2 Hence, use the model to estimate the year in which the population will have
grown to 6 000 000. (3)
