Answer 1

Answer:

The population be after 15 years is 171376.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A population of 110,000 grows 3% per years 15 years.

To find : How much will the population be after 15 years?

Solution :

Exponential growth population model is given by,

$P(t)=P_o(1+r)^t$

Where,

P(t) is the population at time (t)

$P_o=110,000$ is the initial value of the population

r=3%=0.03 is the annual rate of growth

t=15 is the time in years.

Substitute the value,

$P(t)=110000(1+0.03)^{15}$

$P(t)=110000(1.03)^{15}$

$P(t)=110000\times 1.5579$

$P(t)=171376.41$

Therefore, the population be after 15 years is 171376.
