a) 500

b) 9.6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Population of Ilamas

a) P = 500 e ^0.035t

Find P when t = 0

Solving for P

P = 500 e ^0.035 × 0

P = 500 × e ⁰

P = 500 × 1

P = 500

The population of the Ilamas when t = 0 is 500

b ) Find t when P = 700

P = 500 e ^0.035t

700 = 500 e ^0.035t

Divide both sides by 500

700/500 = 500 e ^0.035t/500

7/5 = e ^0.035t

1.4 = e ^0.035t

Take In of both sides

In 1.4 = In (e ^0.035t)

In 1.4 = 0.035t

t = In 1.4/0.035

t = 0.3364722366/0.035

t = 9.6134924749 years

t = Approximately to the nearest tenth of a year = 9.6 years
