If the current population 12,520, one function that can be used to predict the future population of Windham is P(t) = 12,520(1.005)t where t represents time in years. Use this function to predict the population of Windham in 10 years.\r

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
WHY DID YOU CHANGE T FROM 10 TO 5 YEARS? 10 YEARS GROWTH IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR?
\n" ); document.write( "P(T)=12,500(1.005)^10
\n" ); document.write( "P(T)=12,500(1.05114)
\n" ); document.write( "P(T)=13,139 IS THE PROJECTED POPULATION IN 10 YEARS. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
