The population density of the United States has been steadily increasing since 2000. The population density of the United States can be estimated using the equation t P=0.82t+78.5 where P is the population density, measured in people per square mile, and t is the number of years since 2000. Use f = 1 for 2001, t = 2 for 2002, and so on. If the population density continues to increase at its current rate, a) determine the population density of the United States in 2018. b) during what year will the population density of the United States reach 100 people per square mile?
