Answer:

pop after 11 years will be 772,000

Explanation:

P = initial population ·
e^((.06)(11)) e = Eulers number which is approx 2.7

P = 400,000 ·
2.7^(0.66)

P = 400,000 · 1.93

P = 772,000

Answer:

773,917

Explanation:

I will assume it will be a compound interest:

To solve any compound interest problems, use the formula (P x e)^r x t

P = Principal amount

e is Euler's number can be found on your calculator

r = rate

t = time

so 400,000e^0.06 x 11 = 773,916.93 = 773,917 (round to the nearest whole number)
