: between 1970 and 1990, missouri's population increased at the rate of0.47%per year. thepopulation,p, in year t is given by
p = 4,903,000 * 1.0047t where t=0 corresponds to 1980. find the populationin 1970,1980, and 1990. i understand that 1980 = 4,903,000 but can't
figure out the formula to get the correct answers.

Double check your book for the given terms. Since 1970 is the first year, it should be the 0 value.
+p+=++4903000+%2A+1.0047t+
t=0 is 1970
t=10 is 1980
t=20 is 1990
Plug 10 in for t
+p+=++4903000+%2A+1.0047t+
+p+=++4903000+%2A+1.0047%2810%29+
Multiply
+p+=++4903000+%2A+10.047+
Multiply again
+p+=+4926044.1+
Assuming that t=10 for 1980 ... this is the population.
