The number of applications for patents, N, grew dramatically in recent years, with growth averaging about 4.6% per year. That is. N'(t) = 0.046N(t) a) Find the function that satisfies this equation. Assume that t=0 corresponds to 1980, when approximately 109,000 patent applications were received. b) Estimate the number of patent applications in 2025. C Estimate the doubling time for N(t) a) Choose the correct answer below O A. N'(t)= 109,000-0 046t O B. N(1) = 109,000e 0.046t O C. N(t) =0.046e 109,000t O D. N(t) = 109,000t 0.046e
