Answer

The required model is \[A=\left( 1.2 \right)\cdot \left( 0.000000000417 \right)\cdot {{\left( 1.021 \right)}^{t}}\].

Work Step by Step

The regression model for the population is obtained as \[P=\left( 0.000000000417 \right)\cdot {{\left( 1.021 \right)}^{t}}\] Here, \[\hat{P}\] is the predicted value of the population for the independent variable time \[t\]. The model of the used land is denoted by \[A\] that is 1.2 times of the regression model of the population. Therefore, the required model is \[\begin{align} & A=1.2P \\ & =\left( 1.2 \right)\cdot \left( 0.000000000417 \right)\cdot {{\left( 1.021 \right)}^{t}} \\ & =\left( 0.0000000005004 \right)\cdot {{\left( 1.021 \right)}^{t}} \end{align}\]
