A town currently has 5000 residents. The expected future population can be approximated by the function P(x) = 5000(1.364)^(0.3x), where x is the number of years in the future. Determine the expected population of the town in 10 years and in 50 years.

Step 1
364)^(0.3x). Substitute x = 10 into the function: P(10) = 5000(1.364)^(0.3*10) P(10) = 5000(1.364)^3 P(10) = 5000 * 2.046 P(10) = 10230 Show more…

A town currently has 5,000 residents. The expected future population can be approximated by the function p(x) = 5000(1.495)^(0.3x), where x is the number of years in the future. Determine the expected population of the town in 10 and 50 years. (Round to the nearest whole number)

Let P(t) represent the number of people living in a certain town t years after its establishment. If P(5) = 500 and P'(5) = 100, approximately how many people will live in this town 7 years after its establishment. Show your work.

The population of a small town was 500 in 2010 and is growing at a rate of 24 people per year. Find and graph the linear population function $p(t)$ that gives the population of the town $t$ years after 2010. Then use this model to predict the population in 2025.
