To find the number of mowers sold 5 years after the model is introduced, we can substitute t = 5 into the given function.
y = 5500 ln(9(5) + 4)
y = 5500 ln(45 + 4)
y = 5500 ln(49)
Using a calculator, we find that ln(49) is approximately 3.8918.
y = 5500 * 3.8918
y ≈ 21405.9
Rounding to the nearest whole number, we get that approximately 21,406 mowers will be sold 5 years after the model is introduced.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
21,405 mowers
The sales of lawn mowers t years after a particular model is introduced is given by the function
y = 5500 ln(9t + 4), where y is the number of mowers sold. How many mowers will be sold 5 years after a model is introduced? Round the answer to the nearest whole number.
