Question

At the beginning of a population study, a city had 240,000 people. Each year since, the population has grown by 9.7%.

Answer 1

Answer:

y(t) = 240,000 x ( 1 + 0.097)∧t

Step-by-step explanation:

y(1) = 240,000 x ( 1 + 0.097)

y(2) = 240,000 x ( 1 + 0.097) x (1 + 0.097) =240,000 x ( 1 + 0.097)²

y(3) = 240,000 x ( 1 + 0.097) x (1 + 0.097) x ( 1 + 0.097) = 240,000 x ( 1 + 0.097)³

y(t) = 240,000 x ( 1 + 0.097)∧t
