Answer:
A = 236,000 (1.04)^t
population in 2009 : 335,902 people
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to apply an exponential growth function:
A = P (1 + r) t
Where:
p = original population
r = growing rate (decimal form) = 4/100 = 0.04
t= years passed from 2000
A = population after t years
Replacing with the values given:
A = 236,000 (1+ 0.04)^t
A = 236,000 (1.04)^t
Population in 2009.
t = 2009-2000 = 9
A = 236,000 (1.04)^9
A = 335,902 people
