A city's population is currently 150,500. If the population doubles every 62 years, what will
the population be 124 years from now?

602,000

Step-by-step explanation: The equation we use for this is

P = 150500•(2^(124/62)) = 602,000

It'll double twice so 4•150,500 is the same thing.

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
