The town of madison has a population of 25000. the population is increasing by a factor of 1.12 each year. write a function that gives the population p(t) in madison t years from now p(t)=

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential function is given by:

where,

y is the amount after t years.

a is the initial amount

b is the growth factor.

As per the statement:

The town of Madison has a population of 25000.

⇒a = 25000

and the population is increasing by a factor of 1.12 each year.

⇒ b = 1.12

then by definition we have;

where, P(t) is the population in t years from now.

Therefore, a function that gives the population P(t) in Madison t years from now is,

26
