Problem 3

A small town's expansion is modeled by the function S(t)=140t2+3t+15 S(t) = -\frac{1}{40}t^2 + 3t + 15 , for 0t600 ≤ t ≤ 60, where SS represents the area in square kilometers and tt is the number of years since 20002000. If the population density remains steady at 800800 people per square kilometer, what is the population growth rate in 20252025?
