The population of J-Town in 2019 was estimated to be 76,500 people with an annual rate of increase of 2.4%.
Part A. Write an equation to model future growth.
Part B. What is the growth factor for J-Town?
Part C. Use the equation to estimate the population in 2072 to the nearest hundred people.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(A) P(t) =  =  ,
where t are years after 2019 (so 2020 is t= 1, 2021 is t=2 and so on . . . )
(B) the growth factor is 1.024.
(C) P(2072) =  =  = 268,880.4 (approximately),
and we say that the population will be about 268,900 to the nearest hundred people in 2072.
Solved.
