Plz use the exponential model to complete the following statements. round to the nearest whole number, if necessary.

So we have the exponential equation: 
where
is the number of visitors 
are the weekends since opening

1. Since the opening weekend is the day of the the park's opening, we just need to replace  with  in our exponential equation to get the number of visitors on the opening weekend:





We can conclude that there were 18582 visitors on the opening weekend.

2. Just like before, to find the approximate number of visitors on the ninth weekend, we just need to replace  with  in our exponential equation:



And rounded to the nearest integer:


We can conclude that there were approximately 7199 visitors on the  weekend.

3. Here we know that the number of visitors is 15051. Since  represents the number of visitors, we just need to replace  with 15051 in our exponential equation and solve for :








And rounded to the nearest whole number:


We can conclude that the number of visitors was about 15,051 after 2 weekends.
