t=0 ( 2010) p0=__________?

t=1(2011) p0=____________?

t=2(2012)p0=____________?

t=3(2013)p0=____________?

T=6(2016)p0=____________?

Part(c)
use the equation from part (a) to approximate how many years it will take for the population to reach 12,000? Round to the nearest whole year when necessary.
