The amount of people in 2010 is 11571 and it would take approximately 22 years to reach 50000 people.
Let P represents the population as of the year(t) 2000. Given the equation:
[tex]P=3485e^{0.12t}[/tex]
In the year 2010 (t = 10 years), the population would be:
[tex]P=3485e^{0.12*10}=11571\ people[/tex]
For the population to reach 50000 people:
[tex]50000=3485e^{0.12t}\\\\t=22\ years[/tex]
The amount of people in 2010 is 11571 and it would take approximately 22 years to reach 50000 people.
