Question

The population for a city is 39,194 and grows continuously at a rate of 6.9% each year. What is the approximate population in 17 years?

Answer 1

The equation needed to solve this continuous growth question is:
\[P _{t}=P _{i}e ^{rt}\]
where Pt is the population after t years of continuous growth, Pi is the initial population, e is the exponential number, r is the annual growth rate as a decimal and t is the number of years from the initial year.

Answer 2

how do uset it up

Answer 3

i mean how do u set it up

Answer 4

\[P _{t}=39194\times e ^{(0.069\times 17)}=you\ can\ calculate\]

Answer 5

whats e

Answer 6

I told you at the beginning that e is the exponential number.

Answer 7

what was yur final answer i got 4.6% ?
