Question 1206651



Part A. 
Write an equation to model future growth.

{{{y=a(1+r)^t}}}

where {{{a=76500}}} (starting amount)
{{{r=0.024}}} (rate, convert from % to decimal)
{{{t=time}}}


{{{y=76500(1+0.024)^t}}}


Part B. What is the growth factor for J-Town?

The {{{(1+0.024)=1.024 }}}is the growth factor of the function.


Part C. Use the equation to estimate the population in 2072 to the nearest hundred people.

from {{{2019}}} t0 {{{2072}}} is {{{t=53}}}

{{{y=76500(1+0.024)^53}}}

{{{y=268880.39}}}...... round to whole number

{{{y=268880}}}
