First find the rate of growth
45000=18000(1+r)^(2010-2005)
Solve for r
r=((45,000÷18,000)^(1÷5)−1)×100
R=20%
Use it to find the population in 2015
P=45000(1+0.20)^(2015-2010)
P==111,974.4
The answer of the question is D
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The linear function is 
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear function has the following format:

In which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept(the value of y when x = 0).
In the table, we have that when x = 0, y = 2
This means that
. So

Finding the slope:
We take two points, and the slope is given by the change in y divided by the change in x.
Points (0,2) and (1,-1)
Change in y: -1 - 2 = -3
Change in x: 1 - 0 = 1
Slope: 
So
