This is an exponential function.
The starting population is: 10,000 and it doubles every 14 years.
In 42 years ( 42 : 14 = 3 ) the population doubles 3 times.
The equation ( exponential ) is :
y = 10,000 * 2^n
In this case: n = 3
y = 10,000 * 2 ^3 = 10,000 * 8 = 80,000
Answer: In 42 years the population of this town will be 80,000.

How do I make a linear function, what is a linear function?

mixer [17]

Answer:

I have uploaded a picture so you could understand it a little more.

A linear function is when there is a table that gives numbers that represent a function, as shown in the picture.

In the Image, there is a table with a x and y column. And in both columns, there are numbers.

This is what the table looks like in the picture:

0 4 The key is y = 2x + 4

1 6 <------ lets grab the number 1 in the x column and lets

2 8 multiply it by two. Now add four to it, and we will

3 10 have the number 6 in the y column.

4 12

I hope I helped you! God bless :-)
