Let us start with something we know is true.
5 > 3
That reads as 5 is greater than 3. Anyone will tell you that that is a true statement.
But what happens when you multiply this result by - 10
5 * -10 > 3 * - 10
- 50 > - 30 is that true? If you are not sure, think it terms of money. Which would you rather be
owing 50 dollars to some or owing 30 dollars to someone? Of course if you are careful with money you would likely say neither. But this is math so you have to choose.
You likely would have to say you would want to owe 30 dollars. That makes - 30 larger than - 50. So a true statement has now become a false one. Check with me if you don't understand. I'd like to know if you accept my explanation.

Answer:
34175 people will live in Pattersonville 8 years from now
Step-by-step explanation:
Initial population of Pattersonville =40,500
We are given that The census indicated that the population of the town has been decreasing by 2.1% per year .
Now we are supposed to find If this trend continues , approximately how many people will live in Pattersonville 8 years from now
Formula : 
Where N(t)= Population after t years
= Initial population
r = rate of decrease = 2.1 %=0.021
t = 8 years
Substitute the values in the formula :
So,
N(8)=34175.63223
So, 34175 people will live in Pattersonville 8 years from now
