In around 6.35 years, the population will be 1 million.
how many years will it take for the population to reach one million?
The population is modeled by the exponential equation:
[tex]P(t) = 232,012*e^{0.23*t}[/tex]
Then we just need to solve the equation for t:
[tex]P(t) = 232,012*e^{0.23*t} = 1,000,000[/tex]
Let's solve that:
[tex]232,012*e^{0.23*t} = 1,000,000\\\\e^{0.23*t} = 1,000,000/232,012 = 4.31\\[/tex]
If we apply the natural logarithm to both sides:
[tex]ln(e^{0.23*t}) = ln(4.31)\\\\0.23*t = ln(4.31)\\\\t = ln(4.31)/0.23 = 6.35[/tex]
So in around 6.35 years, the population will be 1 million.
