Maximilian Ziegler Candidate number: 000495-022 Portfolio Assignment Mathematical Modelling SL Type II In 1990 a firm of management consultants made a prognosis for the number of passengers traveling with Hurtigruten Bergen - Kirkenes. The prognosis is given by x = 0 corresponds to the year 1990, f (0) is the number of passengers this year, f (1) is the number of passengers traveling in 1991 etc. Part 1 Task 1 One can calculate how many people travelled in 1990 by using the given formula and the fact that to rewrite the formula: --> According to the function, the number of passengers traveling in 1990 will be 270000. Task 2 According to the prognosis, 450000 passengers will travel Bergen - Kirkenes. To answer the question after how many years that will happen, I will put f(x) = 450000 and then solve for "x" to figure out when the number of passengers will exceed 450000. Hence, the number of passengers traveling will exceed 450000...
