Question

Q; the population of Midville, in thousands of people, isgiven by P(t) = 1.5t + 3, where t is the number of years after1980. choose the correct statement a) in 1986, the population was 9,000 b) in 1980, the population was 4500 c) on 1986, the population was 12.00 d) in 1992, the population was 6000 how do you solve this problem P(t) = 1.5t + 3 y= 1.5t + 3 i solve for t and the answer is not right thank you, Q; the population of Midville, in thousands of people, isgiven by P(t) = 1.5t + 3, where t is the number of years after1980. choose the correct statement a) in 1986, the population was 9,000 b) in 1980, the population was 4500 c) on 1986, the population was 12.00 d) in 1992, the population was 6000 how do you solve this problem P(t) = 1.5t + 3 y= 1.5t + 3 i solve for t and the answer is not right thank you, y= 1.5t + 3 i solve for t and the answer is not right thank you,

Explanation / Answer

Since the population is given in thousands of people, the correctstatement would be C), since: P(t)=1.5t+3. "t" would be "6" since 6 years have gone by since1980. So, you just plug in "6" for "t", and you get: P(t)=1.5(6) + 3=9+3=12 P(t)=12 So, in 1986, the population was 12000 or 12*1000. In this case,P(t)=12, since the population is given in thousands. Statement C) is correct.
