You can find the population of birds in a certain area from 1960-2000 using the function

fx=1000x-1950. Using this model, in which year was the population of birds in the area 5000?

1 answer

To find in which year the population of birds in the area was 5000, we need to set the function equal to 5000 and solve for x:

1000x - 1950 = 5000
1000x = 6950
x = 6.95

Therefore, the population of birds in the area was 5000 in the year 6.95, which is approximately in 1966.
