following equations for real x and give the number of solutions

(3) (Modeling Population) Based on the estimate that there
are 10 billion acres of land of Earth, and that each acre can
produce enough food to feed 4 people, some demographers believe that the Earth
can support a population of no more
than 40 billion people. The population of the Earth reached approximately 5
billion in 1986 and 6 billion in 1999. If the
population of the Earth is growing according to the formula
where
t is the time after the population is P0
and r is the growth rate, when will the population reach the theoretical limit
of 40 billion?
