In a country, the wind-power capacity has grown exponentially from 4726 megawatts in 2002 to 46, 900 megawatts in 2012. a) Find the exponential growth rate k and write an equation for an exponential function that can be used to predict the wind-power capacity, in megawatts t years after 2002. b) Estimate the year in which wind-power capacity will reach 120,000 megawatts. a) The exponential growth rate k is. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.) Using the growth rate k in the previous step, find the equation for an exponential function. P(t) = b) In the year the wind-power capacity will reach 120,000 megawatts. (Round up to the nearest whole number) Show transcribed image text
