Answer

a. $A=6.04e^{0.01t},$ b. $2040$

Work Step by Step

$A=A_{0}e^{kt}$ a. For $A_{0}=6.04, A=10, t=50$ $10=6.04e^{50k}$ $1.6556=e^{50k}$ $\ln 1.6556=50k$ $k=0.01$ Thus, $A=6.04e^{0.01t}$ b. $9= 6.04e^{0.01t}$ $1.49= e^{0.01t}$ $\ln 1.49=0.01t$ $t=39.882$ Therefore, at $2040$ year will Israel's population be $9$ million.
