Answer

rising at about $\$ 1.627$ billion a year

Work Step by Step

If $t$ represents the number of years after 1999 and then the population in time $t$ can be written \[ 9200 t+961400=P(t) \] , the average annual income would be \[ 1400 t+30593=A(t) \] multiplying both together gives the total personal income at time $t$ \[ P(t) A(t)=T(t) \] The rate at which total personal income rises is $T^{\prime}(t)$ \[ \begin{aligned} &P^{\prime}(t) A(t)+P(t) A^{\prime}(t)=T^{\prime}(t) \\ &=(9200 t+961400)^{\prime}(1400 t+30593)+(9200 t+961400)(1400 t+30593)^{\prime} \\ &=(1400 t+30593)9200+1400 (9200 t+961400) \end{aligned} \] For $1999, t=0$ thus we can plug that in now , save a little work. \[ 9200(0+30593)+(0+961400) 1400=T^{\prime}(0) \] \[ =1,627,415,600 \] It was rising at $\approx \$ 1.627$ billion a year. The $P^{\prime}(t) A(t)$ part of the product rule is the part of the rate of change of total income that comes from the annual income from the additional population. The $P(t) A^{\prime}(t)$ part of the product rule is the part of the rate of change of total income that comes from the increased income of the total population.
