question 53

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-In September 1998 the population of the country of West Goma in millions was modeled by $\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { x } ) = 16.6 \mathrm { e } ^ { 0.0012 \mathrm { x } }$ . At the same time the population of East Goma in millions was modeled by $\mathrm { g } ( \mathrm { x } ) = 13.4 \mathrm { e } ^ { 0.0133 \mathrm { x } }$ . In both formulas $\mathrm { x }$ is the year, where $\mathrm { x } = 0$ corresponds to September $1998 .$ Assuming these trends continue, estimate the year when the population of West Goma will equal the population of East Goma.
