the population in a certain town is increasing linearly each year. The population at time t=4 is 1600 and at time t=8 is 2400 where t is the number of years after 1900
Added by Jeffrey G.
Step 1
We are given the population at two specific times: t=4 (which corresponds to the year 1904) and t=8 (which corresponds to the year 1908). We need to find the equation that represents this linear growth. Show more…

The population in a certain town is increasing linearly each year. The population at time t=3 is 1405 and at time t=8 is 2480, where t is the number of years after 1990. If P(t) is the population at time t, write an equation that represents this situation.

The population in a certain city was 100,000 in 2000, and its future size is predicted to be P = 5,000e^(-0.015t) people, where t is the number of years after 2000. Determine algebraically what year the population reaches 15,000.

City population A city currently has $36,000$ residents and is adding new residents steadily at the rate of 1600 per year. If the proportion of residents that remain after $t$ years is given by $S(t)=1 /(t+1),$ what is the population of the city seven years from now?
