A city's population in the year X = 1980 was y= 99,000. In 1978 the population was 99,700. Compute the slope of the population growth (or decline) and choose the most accurate statement from the following: The population is decreasing at a rate of 350 people per year. The population is increasing at a rate of 400 people per year. The population is increasing at a rate of 450 people per year. The population is increasing at a rate of 350 people per year. The population is decreasing at a rate of 400 people per year. The population is decreasing at a rate of 450 people per year.

Step 1
The population in 1978 was 99,700 and the population in 1980 was 99,000. Change in population = 99,000 - 99,700 = -700 Show more…

After years of maintaining a steady population of 32,000, the population of a town begins to grow exponentially. After 1 year and an increase of 8% per year, the population is 34,560. Which equation can be used to predict, y, the number of people living in the town after x years? (Round population values to the nearest whole number.) y = 32,000(1.08)^x y = 32,000(0.08)^x y = 34,560(1.08)^x y = 34,560(0.08)^x

A city's population in the year x = 1965 was y = 1,188,700. In 1962 the population was 1,188,400. Compute the slope of the population growth (or decline) and choose the most accurate statement from the following: The population is decreasing at a rate of 250 people per year. The population is increasing at a rate of 100 people per year. The population is increasing at a rate of 250 people per year. The population is increasing at a rate of 150 people per year. The population is decreasing at a rate of 100 people per year. The population is decreasing at a rate of 150 people per year.

The population of a city is 85,000 and increases by 2.4% each year. Which exponential function models the population after x years? A. f(x) = 85,000 • 2.4^x B. f(x) = 85,000 • 0.024^x C. f(x) = 85,000 • 0.976^x D. f(x) = 85,000 • 1.024^x
