The population of a city can be modeled using the equation p = 40,000(9/10)^x. One year, the population was 23,620. What was the population a year later?
Added by Juan R.
Step 1
Step 1: Given the population model equation p = 40,000(9/10)^x and the population in one year is 23,620, we can substitute p = 23,620 into the equation to find x. Show more…

The population of a city is modeled with the function P = 250,000e^0.013t, where t is the number of years since 2000. In what year will the population reach 450,000?

The current population of a town is 10,000 people. The population is decreasing according to the function P(t) = 10,000(2 - 0.03t), where t is the number of years from the present and P is the population. What is the estimated population of the town after 3 years?

The populations $P$ (in thousands) of a city from 2000 through 2010 can be modeled by $P=\frac{2632}{1+0.083 e^{0.050 t}}$ where $t$ represents the year, with $t=0$ corresponding to 2000 (a) Use the model to find the populations of the city in the years $2000,2005,$ and 2010 . (b) Use a graphing utility to graph the function. (c) Use the graph to determine the year in which the population will reach 2.2 million. (d) Confirm your answer to part (c) algebraically.
