Answer:
1. y= 25400(1 + 0.11)^x
2. 2019
Step-by-step explanation:
1. y = a(1 + r)^x <em> </em>
<em>(exponential growth formula :</em>
<em>a = initial value (the amount before measuring growth or decay)
</em>
<em>r = growth or decay rate (usually represented as a percentage and expressed as a decimal)
</em>
<em>
x = number of time units that have passed)</em>
y= 25400(1 + 0.11)^x
so in 1 year, in 1996, we would say
y=25400(1+0.11)^1
y=25400(1.11)
y=28194
2. I found the answer by plugging in numbers into x
with x = 24
y= 25400(1+0.11)^24
y= 310874
so in 24 years, the population will surpass 302438 which would be 1995+24= 2019
