No. Quincy should have used the trend line to find the corresponding x value when y=80.
Answer:
a) 
b) The population increases 7.1% each year.
Step-by-step explanation:
The continuous population growth model is given by:
In which 
is the population after t years, 
is the initial population and r is the growth rate.
In this problem, we have that:
A population grows from its initial levelof 22,000 at a continuous growth rcte of 7.1% per year.
This means that 
a) Write a function to model the population increase.
b) By what percent does the populaiion increase each year?
So the population increases 7.1% each year.
Answer:
1.34%
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the percentage increase between these two prices, we must first find the difference in price. We calculate this by subtracting the final price by the initial price like so...
$9.84 - 9.71 = 0.13
Now we divide the difference by the initial price to find what percentage of the initial price this difference is, since this percentage difference was added to the initial price to get the new and final price point.
0.13 / 9.71 = 0.013388 ... multiply by 100 to get percent value
0.013388 * 100 = 1.3388% or 1.34% rounded.
