Question

PLEASE HELP, WILL GET BRAINIEST AND 99 points a question!!

Answer 1

For this example I am going to use Cape Coral-Fort Myers Florida which was the fastest growing city of 2017.

As of January of 2000, the population of the city was 102,286, and as of January 1 of 2010, the population was 154,305; therefore, I'm going to examine a population growth over a period of 10 years.

I am going to use the standard model for population growth:

y=N _{0} e ^{rx}

Where:

x= time (in years)

r= growth rate

N _{0} = initial population

y= population after a time x

Now, I'm going to replace the values in the equation to get r:

154305=102286e ^{10x}

e^{10x} = \frac{154305}{102286}

lne ^{10x} = ln( \frac{154305}{102286} )

10x=ln( \frac{154305}{102286} )

x= 0.04

Finally, I will multiply x by 100% to obtain 4% which the growing rate of Cape Coral-Fort Myers from 2000 to 2010.

Answer 2

A. Salem Oregon: 
155,094 
156,273 
159,282 
160,614

B. Saginaw, Michigan: 
51,413 
51,043 
50,763 
50,303 

They both grew in the hundreds first.

It already has because the first year doubled is 102,826
