Question

A population of 3000 people doubles in size every 10 years. Determine the population after 50 years.

Answer 1

Answer:

In 50 years Population is 96000 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let population be x

In the first 10 years

Population becomes 2x

In 20 years it becomes 4x

In 10n years it becomes 2^n x

Therefore

for n= 5

x = 3000

Population is 2⁵ (3000)

= 32(3000)

= 96000

Population becomes 96000
