Let p=f(t)=1000(1.04)t be the population of a community In year t. a.) Evaluate f(0) and f(10). What do these expressions represent in terms of the population
When you have a function represented in form such as this:
f(x) = 3x+2
When you have an X value, you will be able to solve for the value of that function at that value.
So the function evaluated at 5 or f(5) would be equivalent to the following:
f(5) = 3*5 + 2 = 17.
For your example plug in the values of 0 or 10 into the function.
Also, are you sure you entered in the function right because
1000(1.04)t is basically just 1040t
Make sure you aren't making a small error that could mess you up when you solve your problem
