I need help with this exam review problem.. Suppose the population of a town is 2,700 and is growing 4% each year. a) write an equation to model the population growth. b) predict the population after 12 years

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Population = (Population_initial)(1+rate)^(years)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Years should be in the exponent.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah typo on my part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so just plug in and solve: p = (2700)(1.04)^(12)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
