Step 1 The number of employees of a national company is given by N(t)=60(1.02)t where N(t) is the number of employees in thousands, t years since 2005. To determine the vertical intercept and practical meaning of this intercept.

Step 2 For the vertical intercept, t=0, N(0)=60(1.02)0=60×1=60 Therefore the vertical intercept is (0,60). It means that in 2005 there were 60 employees.
