Question 760519
 Jane called her local chamber of commerce and finds that the population growth rate of her town is 5%. In addition according to the 1990 census the population is 500. Find the growth equation and draw a graph showing the population between the years 1990-2010
------
Equation:
P(t) = 500*1.05^t
-----
For 2010:
P(10) = 500*1.05^10 = 814.45
----
To graph the equation use the points (0,500)and (10,814)
{{{graph(400,400,-10,40,-200,1000,500*1.05^x)}}}
