Answer:

20683

Explanation:

P(n) is the population at the n th term

17000 is the initial population

R is the grow, which is 4% or .04

Find the population at 5th year

We have :

P(n) = 17000(1+r)^n

P(5) = 17000 (1 +.04)^5

P(5) = 20683.09

Rounded answer 20683

4% of 17000 is 680,

680 *5 = 3400,

3400 + 17000= 20400

the population will be 20400

Hope this helps, and have a nice day
