Suppose the population of a town is 9,800 and is growing 2% each year. Write an equation to model the population growth. Predict the population after 7 years.
Hayley got the first part right;
9,800(1.02)^7=11,257 projected population growth after 7 years.
y=9800(1.02)^t if it's continuous growth you have to use “e"
Make since?
Have a great day! :)
