Answer:
P(t) = 8,400e^(0.042)t
P(t) = total population t years after 2002
8,400 initial population at 2002
0.042 = rate of growth
t = #years after 2002
Explanation:
Using the formula for exponential growth, in this case P(t) = P(subscript 0) e^(kt), k as rate.
P(subscript 0) initial population = 8400
k rate = 4.2% = 0.042
Plug in the numbers as given by the problem.
