The population of mastertown is 23,000 in 2012.
Assume that the increase of the population has a rate of 2% increase annually. Writing an equation model will help us find the number of population in the coming years. Here is the equation model using the geometric sequence formula.
An = A1 * r^(n-1)
Population = starting population 2012 * 0.02^[(year - 2012) - 1]

Answer: y = 23000 (1 + 0.02)^x
Step by step solution:
Population of mastertown was 23,000 in 2012
mastertowns population increases at a rate of 2% per year
By using the following equation :
y= a(1+r)^n
a= initial amount
n = the number of years
r= growth rate
Keeping the above statement in mind -> Population of mastertown (y) based on numbers of years since 2012 (x)
a = 23000
An increase by 2%
r = 2/100 = 0.02
So the final equation would be :
y = 23000 (1 + 0.02)^x
