The growth of a certain species (in millions) since 1950 closely fits the following exponential function where t is the number of years since 1950.

A(t)= 3300 e Superscript 0.0166t

a. The population of the species was about 3906 million in 1960. How closely does the function approximate this value?

b. Use the function to approximate the population of the species in 2000. (The actual population in 2000 was about 7678 million)

c. Estimate the population of the species in the year 2015.
