Question 187051: Suppose a population of initial size 100 grows at the rate of 8% per year forever.
What is the size of the population at the end of year 1?
What is the size of the population at the end of year 2?
What is the size of the population at the end of year 3?
What is the size of the population at the end of year n (for any integer n)?
What algebraic equation would you need to solve to find the number of years x that it would take for our population to reach 200? Use a calculator to solve to x.
I am truly not even sure how to get started on this problem, any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Answer by user_dude2008(1862) (Show Source):
