Sometimes insects native to other countries are introduced into the United States by ships carrying imports. This can be problematic because there are no natural predators to combat the growth of these pests. Scientists use a model for continuous population growth to project the monthly increase in the number of insects. Suppose a particular insect came into the United States and, by the time it was discovered at the end of 2016, its population was estimated to be 2,000. Scientists note that the number of insects continually increases by 15% each month.
Given the following formula to represent the situation, answer the following questions:
N(t)= the number of insects after t months
N0= the initial number of insects
r= rate of growth
t= time in months
Use the information above to write a function to represent the number of insects present after t months.

Assuming the growth remains continuous, how many insects will there be at the end of 2018? Show your work! (Hint: Let t = # of months from 2016-2018)
Calculations:

Answer the question in a complete sentence:

Assuming the growth remains continuous, when will the number of insects reach one million? Show your calculations or graphs, then state your answer as the month and year.
(HInt: Use the formula given to plug in your values then solve for t using logs. )
