A city has a population of 250,000 people. Suppose that each year the population grows by 6%. What will the population be after 5 years?Use the calculator provided and round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The population after 5 years is approximately 337,465 people

Explanation:

The population of the city is 250,000

Annual growth rate is 6%

The population after t years is:

[tex]P=P_oe^{rt}[/tex]

After 5 years, t = 5 and the population becomes:

[tex]\begin{gathered} P=250000e^{\frac{6}{100}\times5} \\ \\ =250000e^{0.3} \\ \\ \approx337465 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The population after 5 years is approximately 337,465 people
