Question

the population of ashmore was 925 in 2000 and 1028 in 2001 what is the exponential model in the form of a(b)^t

Answer 1

1028 / 925 = 1.1114

population = 925(1.1114)^t where t is the number of years after 2000.

Answer 2

exponential model: p = 925*1.1^t

Explanation:

Given the function:

p = a*b^t

where p is the population of Ashmore after t years after 2000, then in year 2000:

925 = a*b^0

925 = a

and in year 2001 (1 year after year 2000):

1028 = 925*b^1

b = 1028/925

b = 1.1
