Question

The population of a town was 4000 in 2010. The population grows at a rate of 3.8% annually.

(a) Use the exponential growth model to write an equation that estimates the population t years after 2010.
(a) Estimate the population of the town in 2024. Show your work.

Answer 1

2010= 4000 x 3.8/ 100 = 152

= 4152

b) 2024= 4000x (3.8x 14)/100=

4000 x 53.2/100= 2128

2024= 6128
