Given the following exponential function, identify whether the change
1 answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We can determine whether the change represents exponential growth or decay by seeing whether the number being raised to x is between 0 and 1, or greater than 1.
In the equation , y will increase every time that x increases, as we are multiplying by a number greater than 1 every time.
Hence, this exponential function represents exponential growth.
The percentage rate of increase for this function would be how much the y-value increases each time. Since we are multiplying by 1.04, each time the new value is 104% the original y-value. Hence, the percentage increase is 4%.

Answer:
In 2003, the population was 59000 and the population has been growing by 1,700 people each year.
A.
The equation will be:
59000+1700x = (population 'x' years after 2003)
For x, you plug in the amount of years after 2003.
Like if it is the year 2003, the population is
= 59000
when it is year 2005, the population is
= 62400
B.
The town's population in 2007 will be :
Population = 65800
C.
=>
x = 11
Means
Hence, by year 2014 the population will be 77700.
