Answers

  1. Answer:
    In 2006 the population will reach 17837
    Step-by-step explanation:
    P in the given t = 17837
    P is also given as;
    P = 149t +15900
    17837=149t +15900 ( by putting the value of P from given questions)
    17837-15900=149t
    1937=149t
    then,
    T=1937/149
    =13
    Now,
    T = 13 years
    the given year is 1993
    soo, 1993+13
    =2006
