A small country in Europe has been experiencing population growth that can be modeled by the equation y=120,000(1.042)^x where y is the population of the country and x is the number of years since 2010. What is the percent change in the population of the country each year?

The percentage searched is 4.2%

If you multiply some value to 1.042 this means that you are adding 4.2 %

See in the expression of formula that appears just the cited figure: "1.042"
