Twenty years ago a small town in texas had a population of 10,000. the population has increased 8% each year since then. what is the growth factor that would be used to solve this problem?

1.08

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that 20 ears ago a small town in Texas had a population of 10,000. The population has increased 8% each year since then.

We can see that population is increasing exponentially, so we will use exponential function to write formula for our given information.

, where,

a = Initial value,

b = For growth b is in form (1+r), where r is growth rate in decimal form.

Let us convert our given growth rate in decimal form.

Upon substituting our given values in exponential function formula we will get,

We can see that value of b is 1.08, therefore, growth factor for our given problem is 1.08.

answer: for each 3 girls there is 2 boys . 3: 2

hope this ! (:   mark me as brainliest if you can

c - they will have the same distribution

this is the only one that could make sense. : )
