In 2015, the population of a town was 8914. the population is expected to grow at a rate of 1.36% each year.

at this rate, what would be the population in 2040?

round the the nearest whole number.

12495

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The population of a town in 2015 = 8914

The growth rate of population per year = 1.36%

The exponential growth function is given by:_

, where A is the initial amount and r is the rate of growth of amount in x years.

Consider 2015 as the initial year, then for 2040, x=25   [2040-2015]

A=8914

r=1.36%=0.0136

Now, At this rate,  the population in 2040 will be given by :-

the answer is a
