Answer:

That is 74 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5% = 0.015.

The equation for the rate of growth is P = 430,000(1.015)^n where n is the number of years.

Triple the population  is 430,000 * 3 =  1,290,000, so:

1,290,000 = 430,000(1.015)^n

(1.015)^n = 1290,000 / 430,000 = 3

Taking logs of both sides:

n log 1.015 = log 3

n = log 3 / log 1.015  =  73.8 years

<u>Answer:</u>

73 years

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have an exponential function P(t) which represents the population at time t and is given by:

P(t)=Ab^t

where t is the time in years,

A is the initial amount; and

b is the growth rate.

Finding the number of years it will take to triple the population by substituting the given values in the above formula to get:

3\times 430000=430000\times (1.015)^t

3=(1.015)^t

Taking log on both sides to get:

\log3=t\log1.015

t=\dfrac{\log 3}{\log 1.015}\\\\t=73.78876233

Therefore, it will take 73 years for the population to triple.
