In the boxes, we will fill, from left to right; 236,000 , 0.04
Here, we want to write an exponential growth model
Generally, we can have the exponential growth model written as;
where P is the present value, I is the initial value , r is the rate of increase and t is the number of years since 2000
With respect to the question at hand;
I is 236,000 which is the imitial population as at year 2000
r is the rate of increase which is 4% and this is 4/100 = 0.04
t is the number of years since 2000
