Question: The Siberian unicorn, a ginormous prehistoric rhinoceros-like animal, survived until around 37000 BCE. Assume the population of Siberian unicorns was exactly 262144 in the year 39000 BCE and followed the model f(t) = 262144(2)-t, a function of t time in centuries. According to the model, what year did the population of Siberian unicorns decline to exactly 1? You may use your calculator to solve this problem.
