Question

a town has a population of 18000 and grows at 2% every year what will the population be after 11 years to the nearest whole number ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

This is an exponential equation of the form

`y=ar^x\\ \\ \text{Where y=final value, a=initial value, r=common ratio, x=term number}\\ \\ y=18000(1.02)^x\\ \\ y(11)=18000(1.02)^(11)\\ \\ y\approx 22381`
