a city has a population of 400,000 people. suppose that each year the population grows by 3.75%. what will the population
be after 15 years?
use the calculator provided and round your answer to the nearest whole number.

The population after 15 years will be

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have a exponential function of the form

where

a is the initial value

b is the base

r is the rate

b=(1+r)

x ----> the number of years

f(x) ----> the population

we have

The equation is

For x=15 years

substitute the value of x

therefore

The population after 15 years will be

i leave the calculator work to you.

7. diameter 4 miles, circumference 4π miles

8. radius 0.2 miles, circumference 0.4π miles

[this is a bad problem because the actual radius of a car on the track is less than 0.2 miles so the answer is less than 0.4π miles]

9. radius 6 feet, circumference 12π feet

10. diameter 14 cm, circumference 14π cm

11. diameter 4.8 feet, circumference 4.8π feet
