I just need someone to make sure I got my function correct:

In 1990, the population of Austin, Texas, was 494,2940 During the next 10 years, the population increased by about 3% each year. Write a model giving population P (in thousands) of Austin t years after 1990.

I think the function would be \(P=10(1.03)^t\)

Is that right?

No. That would make the population in 1990 equal 10.

 

You should have P = 4942.940*1.03t

 

(That's in thousands)
