Question

the population of a european city increases by 2% annually. If the population was 50,000, what is the expected population after 10 years if this trend continues

Answer 1

Use the exponential growth formula:\[P(t)=P_0e^{kt}\]Where k is the rate, P_0 is the starting population.

Answer 2

Though I did mange to find this formula a good while before you replied, I was asking if someone could solve it. I am lacking in the necessary tools to do such equations at the moment. Thanks though.
