Yes initial amount is 2044 (in millions)
Since the function is from 2000 then you can set it up as
B(t)=2044*a^t
To solve for "a" use the second number given, 3846, and since this value is 5 years after 2000 t=5
so we plug in these values
3846=2044*a^5
we now solve for a
first, divide by 2044
3846/2044=a^5
next, we take the 5th root
5sqrt(3846/2044) = a
I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.
