A town population of 14000 and grows 3.5% every year. What will be the population after 14 years to the nearest whole number

22662

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the growth is exponential, your equation will be y = a • b^x. a being the beginning amount, b the percentage it increases by, and x is the time taken.

y = 14000 • 1.035^14

  = 22661.72

Round your answer since people can only be integers and your answer is a population of 22662  

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
