X = 9

1) Subtract 109 from both sides of the equation
2) Simplify
3) Divide both sides of the equation by the same term
4) Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator and divide

solve the problem related to population growth.A city had a population of 23,900 in 2007 and a population of 25,100 in 2012.(a)

Finger [1]

Solution

To find the exponential growth function, we apply the exponential growth formula which is

$N(t)=a(1+k)^t$

Where

$\begin{gathered} a\text{ is the }initial\text{ population} \\ k\text{ is the growth rate} \\ t\text{ is the number of time intervals} \end{gathered}$

Given that

$\begin{gathered} a=23,900 \\ N(5)=25,100 \\ t=2012-2007=5 \end{gathered}$

Substitute the variables into the exponential growth formula

$\begin{gathered} 25100=23900(1+k)^5 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 23,900} \\ \frac{25100}{23900}=\frac{23900(1+k)^5}{23900} \\ 1.05021=(1+k)^5^{} \\ \sqrt[5]{1.05021}=1+k \\ 1.00984=1+k \\ \text{Collect like terms} \\ k=1.00984-1 \\ k=0.00984 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the exponential growth function is
