Answer:
P(0) = 7,917
Step-by-step explanation:
The population of the community is given by the following formula:

In which P(0) is the initial population and r is the growth rate.
The initial population P0 has doubled in 5 years.
This means that

Which lets us find r.



Applying the 5th root to both sides


So

Suppose it is known that the population is 12,000 after 3 years.
With this, we find P(0)





If you multiply 2x2 you get 4 and multiply another 2 which is 8. Two answers are 8 and 2x2x2.
