Answer:

  • a)  p(10) ≈ 48.10
  • b)  about 1.00 million/year

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Use t=10 in the given formula and do the arithmetic.

  39.07×1.021^10 ≈ 48.0951 ≈ 48.10 . . . millions

__

b) The derivative of p(t) is ...

  p'(t) = p(t)·ln(1.021) ≈ 0.8120·1.021^t

  p'(10) ≈ 0.99954 ≈ 1.00 . . . . millions per year
