Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We would apply the formula for exponential growth which is expressed as
A = P(1 + r)^t
Where
A represents the population after t years.
t represents the number of years.
P represents the initial population.
r represents rate of growth.
From the information given,
P = 5655
r = 1.4% = 1.4/100 = 0.14,
a) Therefore, the equation that estimates the population t years after 2010 is
A = 5655(1 + 0.14)^t
A = 5655(1.14)^t
b) in 2022, the number of years t = 2022 - 2010 = 12
Therefore,
A = 5655(1.14)^12
A = 27245
