- The population P (in millions) of Texas from 2001 through 2014 can be approximated by the model P=20.913e0.0184t, where t represents the year, with t=1 corresponding to 2001. According to this model, when will the population reach 32 million?arrow_forwardRepeat Example 5 when microphone A receives the sound 4 seconds before microphone B.arrow_forward
