Answer:
The exponential growth model for the population of the Tallahassee metropolitan area is  .
.
Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential formula is

Where b is initial population, r is growth rate, (1+r) is growth factor and t is time (in years) after the initial year.
The population of the Tallahassee metropolitan area was 382,627 at the end of 2017. The growth rate is 2.78%.
Here the initial year is 2017 and rate is 0.0278
 
 
Graph of the equation is shown below. The x-axis represents the number of years after 2017 and y-axis represents the total population.
Difference between 2025 and 2017 is 8 years. Put t=8
 
 

Therefore the projected population in 2025 is 476479.

Answer: Option B
B. 
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following equations:
 (1)
       (1)
 (2)
          (2)
Let us call "a" the coefficient of the variable x in the first equation and call "b" the coefficient of the variable x in the second equation.
Then we must multiply the number "a" by a value z such that when adding  the result is zero.
 the result is zero.

So

We solve the equation for z


The first equation must be multiplied by a value of
