Question

Problem 6. (1 point) A certain city's population is growing linearly. The population in 2013 is 45000. When it was measured again in 2019, the popula- tion was 87000. 1) Find the linear function that models the population $P(t)$ where t is the number of years after 2013. $P(t) = 7006t + 45000$ (Note: Use the letter $t$ in your function) 2) What does the model project the population will be in the year 2047? The population will be ______ (Round to the nearest tenth)

          Problem 6. (1 point)
A certain city's population is growing linearly. The population in
2013 is 45000. When it was measured again in 2019, the popula-
tion was 87000.
1) Find the linear function that models the population $P(t)$ where
t is the number of years after 2013.
$P(t) = 7006t + 45000$
(Note: Use the letter $t$ in your function)
2) What does the model project the population will be in the year
2047?
The population will be ______ (Round to the nearest tenth)

Step 1

We can do this by finding the slope of the line that connects the two points (2013, 45000) and (2019, 87000). Show more…

Problem 6. (1 point) A certain city's population is growing linearly. The population in 2013 is 45,000. When it was measured again in 2019, the population was 87,000. Find the linear function that models the population P(t) where t is the number of years after 2013. P(t) = 7000t + 45000 (Note: Use the letter t in your function) What does the model project the population will be in the year 2047? The population will be 280,000
