1 The rate of population decline of Seaside
Harbor is modeled by the equation
-0.00810
P(t)=15000e
where t is the time
in years and 15,000 is the current
population. In approximately how many
years will the population of Seaside
Harbor be 9,000?

(−0.0081p)(t)=(15000)(2.718282)

Step 1: Divide both sides by -0.0081t.

−0.0081pt

−0.0081t

=

40774.227427

−0.0081t

p=

−40774.227427

0.0081t

p=

−40774.227427

0.0081t

whole numbers.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the average monthly rainfall (in millimeters) model r(m) for the years 1900-2009 as a function of the month number m.

as we can see m is taken for the number of months for years 1900-2009.

we know that number of months can't be a negative number or decimal number or a fraction.

so, the number of months could be only positive whole numbers.

therefore, whole numbers is more appropriate for the domain of r.
