The current student population of Atlanta is 2800.
If the population increases at a rate of 4.3% each year.
(a) What will the student population be in 10 years?
Write an exponential growth model for the future population P(x) where x is in years:
P(x)=
(b) What will the population be in 10 years? (Round to nearest student)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(a) P(x) = , or, equivalently, P(x) = .
(b) P(10) = substitute x= 10 into the formula above = .
To get the value, use your calculator.
