Answer

Final Answer: The estimated population in 2035 is $36.9$ million.

Steps

Step 1 ：Let $y (t)$ be the population of the state, in millions, $t$ years after the year 2000. The exponential growth function for this state's population is given by $y (t) = 21.8 e^{0.015 t}$

Step 2 ：We are asked to find the estimated population of the state in the year 2035. To do this, we substitute $t = 2035 - 2000 = 35$ into the function.

Step 3 ：Substituting $t = 35$ into the function, we get the population as $36.852002894664196$ million.

Step 4 ：Rounding this to one decimal place, we get the population of the state in 2035 as approximately $36.9$ million.

Step 5 ：Final Answer: The estimated population in 2035 is $36.9$ million.
