Answer:
The 12000 City would become 22,986 people, while the 230,000 city would become a population of 124,223.
Step-by-step explanation:
1st Part:
=12000⋅(0.026000000000000002⋅25)
=12000(2.718281828459045)(0.65)
=22986
2nd Part:
=230000⋅(−0.044000000000000004⋅14)
=230000(2.718281828459045)(−0.616)
=124223
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First question.
We would apply the formula for exponential growth which is expressed as
A = P(1 + r)^t
Where
A represents the population after t years.
t represents the number of years.
P represents the initial population.
r represents rate of growth.
From the information given,
P = 12000
r = 2.6% = 2.6/100 = 0.026
n = 25 years
Therefore,
A = 12000(1 + 0.026)^25
A = 12000(1.026)^25
A = 22796
Second question
The formula for exponential decay is
A = P(1 - r)^n
r = 4.4% = 0.044
n = 14 years
P = 230000
Therefore,
A = 230000(1 - 0.044)^14
A = 230000(0.956)^14
A = 122501
