Answer:

[tex]1998 + 5\sqrt{30}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the equation:

Since C(t) gives the number of cars purchased in the t-th year after 1998, then make the number of cars equal to 15 000 and solve for t - the year:

20t^2 = 15000

t^2 = 750

t = [tex]\sqrt{750} = \sqrt{10} \cdot \sqrt{25} \cdot \sqrt{3} = 5\sqrt{30}[/tex]

The year will be simply 1998 + 5 \sqrt{30}
