Question

Medal + Fan:

The population of a town grows exponentially. After 1 year, the population is 34,560. After 2 years, the population is 37,325. Which equation can be used to predict, y, the number of people living in the town after x years? (Round population values to the nearest whole number.)

Answer 1

y = 32,000(1.08)x
y = 32,000(0.08)x
y = 31,795(1.08)x
y = 31,795(0.08)x

Answer 2

Got to go with C

Answer 3

At year zero population = 32,000*(1.08)^0
Year one 32,000*(1.08)^1
Year two 32,000*(1.08)^2

So population = 32,000 * (1.08)^years

I'd say the answer is A

Also those answers are written very poorly
answer A should read
y = 32,000 * (1.08) ^ x
