By looking at the statement I derived,
32 = 8 * 4
Answer:
The population growth is 6.26 per square mile per year
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given
he US Census found at the population per square mile in the state rose from 128.7 to 191.3 during the last 10 years
So,
Initial population =128.7
Final Population =191.3
Total time =10 years
now, we can find population grow per year

now, we can plug values


So,
The population growth is 6.26 per square mile per year
Yes; this is a linear function because you plug in a number and multiply it by two, so the function would be y=2x, which is linear despite the fact that it lacks a b value.
Hope this helps! :)
