An exponential function is modeled using the equation:

P(t)=a(1+r)^{\frac{t}{n}}

where P(t) is the population after t years, a is the initial population, r is the growth rate in decimals, t is the number of years, and n is the number of periods in one cycle.

From the given information, we have the following parameters:

\begin{gathered} a=80000 \\ r=0.1 \\ t=8 \\ n=2 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the population after 8 years can be calculated by substituting into the formula and solving for P(t) as follows:

\begin{gathered} P(t)=80000(1+0.1)^{\frac{8}{2}}=80000(1.1)^4 \\ P(t)=117128 \end{gathered}

The population is 117,128.
