    The population in thousands, Q, of another town is modelled by the formula Q = 26 + 50e0.003t. (c) Show that the value of t when P = Q is a solution of the equation t = 1000 ln (1 + 0.08e0.002t). (d) Use the iteration formula tn + 1 = 1000 ln (1 + 0.08e 0.002tn ) with t0 = 50 to find t1, t2 and t3 and hence, the year in which the populations of these two towns will be equal according to these models.
