Pls help me ASAP I will give brainliest

Answer 1

Answer:

$y = 40000(1.02)^8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a = 40000$ -- Initial population

$r = 2\%$ --- Rate

Required

Determine the population in 8 years

The question shows an exponential distribution and the final population will be calculated using:

$y = a(1 + r)^x$

Where x is the number of years.

So, we have:

$y = 40000(1 + 2\%)^8$

Convert % to decimal

$y = 40000(1 + 0.02)^8$

$y = 40000(1.02)^8$

(b) is correct
