Question

Write an exponential function to model each situation. Find each amount after the

specified time.


A population of 1,236,000 grows 1.3% per year for 10 years

Answer 1

The formula would be y = 1,236,000(1.3)^t

After 10 years, the population would grow to become 17,039,309.59 people. You can round up to 17,039,310 people if the question asks to round to the nearest person.
