Question

Consider the population of a small town that grows according to the explicit rule: p = 53600 + 145 n, where n is the number of years after 2009. based on this model what is the population in 2022?

Answer 1

p = 55485

Explanation:

p = 53600 + 145 n

n = 2022 - 2009 = 13 years

so, p = 53600 + 145(13)

p = 55485
