The population will be about 2972 population in 2020
<h3>Exponential functions </h3>
The standard exponential equation is expressed as;
y = ab^x
where
- a is the intercept
- b is the initial population
- x is the time
Given the following parameters
Substittute the given parameters into the formula
y = 2000(1.02)^x
If x = 20 (from 2000 to 2020)
The population will be expressed as;
y = 2000(1.02)^20
y = 2972 populations
Hence the population will be about 2972 population in 2020
