Question

Suppose the population of a town is 16,400 and is growing 4% each year.
a. Write an equation to model the population growth.
b. Predict the population after 12 years.

y = 16,400 * 4^x; about 275,146,342,400 people
16,400 * 4^x; about 26,257 people
y = 16,400 * 1.04^x; about 26,257 people
y = 4 * 16,400^x; about 787,200 people
