Question

The function f(x)=501170(0.98)x gives the population of a Texas City x years after 1995. What was the population in 1995?

Answer 1

The population of a Texas City in 1,995 was
`501,170\ people`

Explanation:

we have

`f(x)=501,170(0.98^(x))`

we know that

The population in 1,995 is for
`x=0`

so

substitute the value of
`x=0` in the function f(x)

`f(0)=501,170(0.98^(0))=501,170\ people`
