The mythical town of Alphaville had a population of 10,000 people in 1930. Since then, the population has doubled every 23 years. (For example in 1953, the population equalled 20,000; in 1976 it was 40,000; in 1999, it was 80,000 and so on).
\n" ); document.write( "What was the population in 1980?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The equation for this is
\n" ); document.write( "population = 10000*2^[(x-1930)/23]
\n" ); document.write( "where x is the year you are interested in.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "When x=1980 the population is 45125\r
