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.
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?
