The amount of military spending m (in billions of dollars) in the u. s. during year t is given approximately by the equation m=48.81t+304.30 where t=0 corresponds to the year 2000. during what year did the military spending in the u. s. hit apporximately $694.78 billion?

2008

Step-by-step explanation:

M = 48.81t + 304.30

M = 694.78                            Solve for t

694.78 = 48.81t + 304.30     Subtract 304.30 from each side

390.48 = 48.81t                    Divide each side by 48.81

t = 390.48/48.81  

t = 8.00 yr

Year = 2000 + t

Year = 2000 + 8.00

Year = 2008

Military spending hit $694.78 billion at the end of 2008.
