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

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

1 answer

To find the year in which the population of birds in the area was 5000, we need to set up the equation:

5000 = 1000 * √(x - 1950)

Divide both sides by 1000:

5 = √(x - 1950)

Square both sides to solve for x:

25 = x - 1950

Add 1950 to both sides:

1975 = x

Therefore, the population of birds in the area was 5000 in the year 1975.
