Question

Employers are increasingly turning to GPS (global positioning system) technology to keep track of their fleet vehicles. The estimated number of automatic vehicle trackers installed on fleet vehicles in the United States is approximated by

N(t) = 0.69e^0.11t      (0 ≤ t ≤ 9)

where N(t) is measured in millions and t is measured in years, with t = 0 corresponding to the year 2000.
