Question

A city has a population of 350,000 peopleSuppose that each year the population grows by 7.75%What will the population be after 6 years Use the calculator provided and round your answer to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

547737

Explanation:

So first when know that the equation for exponentinal growth is f(x)=a(1+r)^x

Then you need to substitue so it would be f(x)=350,000(1+0.0775)^6

So then you would add the 1 and 0.0775 to equal 1.0775

So now its f(x)=350,000(1.0775)^6

So after that following PEMDAS, you would basically do 1.0775 to the power of 6 and get 1.56496155465

After you would do 1.56496155465 times 350,000 and that would be 547736.544129 and since its to the nearest whole number the answer would be 547737

Hopefully, that helped. If I did end up making a mistake then just comment on my answer. :)
