Step-by-step explanation:
8+9=17
9+8=17
17-8=9
17-9=8
But, 8-9 is -1
The population of the town from 2000 to 2020 is modeled by the equation:

Where t is the number of years since 2000.
We have to find the expected population of the town in 2002. The number of years from 2000 to 2002 are 2, so we have to find p(2). Replacing t by 2 in the above equation, we get:
So, according to the model, the population of town in 2002 is predicted to be 11,025.
This is crazy. If I'm reading this right (I'm not sure why there are spaces put in between some of those numbers like there is), I'm getting that the answer is
-1079.242293. But again, those spaces are throwing me off. I eliminated the spaces between the numbers while I was performing the operations in order.
