Question

1.Suppose the population of a town is 1,100 and is growing 4% each year.
a. Write an equation to model the population growth.
b. Predict the population after 5 years.

Answer 1

The model usually used for this kind of problem is an exponential growth equation. That would be\[P(t)=P_0e^{kt}\]Where Psub0 is the starting population, k is the growth rate (in decimal notation) and t is the time from the start of the growth period in years.

Answer 2

Is that enough so that you can solve it?
