Answer 1

$p = 28600 + 950t$

Answer 2

Answer:

The required formula is: $p=28600+950t$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A city's population was 28,600 people in the year 2015 and is growing by 950 people a year.

Let t is the number of years since 2015, and the population of city is denoted by p,

Each yr population is growing by 950.

That means for t yr since 2015 population will grow 950t

In 2015 the population was 28,600

Thus, the required formula is: $p=28600+950t$
