<h3>The population P(t) at the end of year t is 
</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial population of town of Madison = 25,000
The rate at which the population is increasing = 1.12 times
So, the increase in population first year :
( the initial population) x = 1.12 x ( 25,000)
= 28,000
So, the population at the end of first year = 28,000
Similarly, the increase in population second year :
( the initial population) x (1.12)² = ( 25,000) x (1.12)²
= 31,360
So, the population at the end of second year =31,360
Now, to calculate the population in t years from now:
The population P(t) at the end of year t is
An equation without exponents and two variables, is typically a straight line. All the points on the line with integer coordinates are solutions of the equation. Since x and y have to be positive as well, there aren't that many solutions.
Let's see where the line crosses the x-axis, it is where y=0:
x/0.5 + 0 = 18, so x=9 at the intercept. y=0 there, so this is a point on the line, but not a solution to the question (y was supposed to be positive).
Possible values for x are thus limited to 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7. You can try them all (ie., solve the equation with them) and see for which x values the y is also positive and integer.
You will find that x=4, y=2 is the only pair that satisfies these conditions.
