The population of a town increase exponentially at a rate of x% per year.

On Janurary 1st, 2000 the population was 65,000.

On Janurary 1st, 2020 the population was 100,000.

Find the vlaue of x (round to 3 significant figures)

Plug the numbers into the exponential growth formula: 

Now work backwards to get the

1)Divide 120150 by 60100 to get 1.998668885

2) Find the 11th root of ANS:

3) Minus 1 from your answer to give 0.064976629

4)Multiply your answer by 100 to give you the rate of x%, which is 6.5 to 1d.p

x=6.5 (1 d.p.)

Btw, this answer also works if you plug it back into the equati

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide each number in the sequence, you'll see that they all have a multiple factor of 2. each number in the series, and any other numbers which may continue, will be multiplied by 2. therefore, y is the next number in the sequence, and x is the current one, so, our formula will be y = 2x.
