Twenty years ago a small town in texas had a population of 10,000. the population has increased 8% each year since then. predict what the population of the town will be in 10 more years.

In 10 years there will be a population of roughly 21,589 people

Step-by-step explanation

The population of the Small town in Texas starts with a population of 10,000 people and grows at a rate of 8% per year, we need to find what the population will be in 10 years. We can calculate this using the Exponential Growth Formula which is the following

Where y is the population at the end of the time period, a is the initial population, r is the rate of growth, and t is the time in years. Since we are given the rate and initial population we can plug that into the formula to solve to the total population in 10 years (y).

So in 10 years there will be a population of roughly 21,589 people in the small Texan town.
