for over 20 years the population of Tressel has been increasing linearly according to the function p(t) = 400t + 7,500 where p is the number of residents and t is the number of years after 1980. Compute p (22) and interpret its meaning in the context of this problem.

p(22)=400(22)+7500=8800+7500=16300

the meaning of p(22) is the number or residents in the year 1980+22=2002
