Data from the Statistical Abstract of the United States show that in 1995 there were 56.61 thousand performances in the United States by nonprofit professional theaters. From 1995 through 2007, this number increased on average by about 8% each year. (a) Let P denote the number of performances, in thousands, and let t denote the time in years since 1995. Make an exponential model for P versus t. P(t)= 56.61(1.1)^t (b) How many performances by nonprofit professional theaters does your model give for2003? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) = Blank 2 performances by nonprofit professional theaters. Blank 1 56.61(1.1)^t MUN Blank 2 Add your answer
