Question
in the last 6 years, the population of san francisco has grown at a rate of 1.26% per year to 870,887. if this rate continues,
what will be the population in 5 more years? round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have a exponential function of the form

where

y is the population of San Francisco

x is the number of years

a is the initial population

b is the base

r is the rate of grown

b=(1+r)

In this problem we have

ordered pair (6, 870,887)

substitute in the exponential function

Solve for a

so

The exponential function is equal to

In 5 more years the number of years will be equal to

6+5=11 years

For x=11 years

substitute the value of x in the exponential function and solve for y

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents
