The population of the town in 36 years would be 8000.
<h3>What would be the population of the town in 36 years?</h3>
The formula that can be used to determine the town's population is:
FV = P (1 + r)^n
Where:
- FV = Future value
- P = Present value
- R = rate of growth = 100%
- N = number of years = 36/9 = 4
500 x 2^4 = 8000

To solve the given equation, w need to review some rules:

The given equation is :


⇒⇒⇒⇒ rule (2)

⇒⇒⇒⇒ rule (1) and rule (2)

⇒⇒⇒⇒ rule (3)
removing the nature logarithm from both sides

∴ x = 4
So, the correct answer is option (2) ⇒⇒⇒⇒ x = 4
