Answer

$2040$

Work Step by Step

We want the $t$ for which $C(t)=2000$ We solve for $t$: $2000=715e^{0.00356t}$ $2000/715=e^{0.00356t}\qquad $ /ln( .. ) $\ln(2000/715)=0.00356t$ $ t=\displaystyle \frac{\ln(2000/715)}{0.00356}\approx$288.93817 $ 289$ years after $1750$ is $2039$. To the nearest decade: $2040$
