Given:
In 2010, the population of a town = 2000
Every year, it increase by 1.5%
To find the equation P(t) which represents the population of this town t years from 2010.
Formula
If a be the original population of a town and it increases by b% every year, after t year the population will be
Now,
Taking, a =2000, b = 1.5 we get,
or,
Hence,
The population of this town t years from 2010 P(t) = , Option D.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form or
In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin
In this problem we have
Substitute the values and solve for k
therefore
the equation of the line is equal to
