The population of a city this year is 2. the population is expected to increase by 2.5% per year over the next 10 years. which exponential models this situation?

answer:

a

step-by-step explanation:

you have the y intercept, 200,000. that should be a constant in the equation

since it is increasing by 2.5% every year we have to multiply by 1.025. and multiply by that for every year so

giving you

also using process of elimination could , it would not be d because you need the y intercept to be 200,000

would not be b because you need to multiply by proportion and keep the original 100% and add 2.5%

and it would not be c because we need the 2.5% somewhere in the equation

b

step-by-step explanation:

the word superfluous means unnecessary

so, converting firstly the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then "adding".
