(( repost is multiple choice but i need ))
a town has a population of 32,000 in the year 2002; 35,200 in the year 2003; 38,720 in the year 2004; and 42,592 in the year 2005. if this pattern continues, what will the population be in the year 2015?

a) 110,473
b) 100,430
c) 133,672
d) 121,520

117417 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the equation A = Pe^rt.

A = amount

P = starting amount

r = rate

t = time

Let's find r first using years 2002 and 2003.

35200 = 32000e^r

Divide each side by 32000.

35200/32000 = e^r

Take the ln() of each side.

r = ln(35200/32000)

Now we can solve for year 2015.

A = 32000e^ln(35200/32000)*13

A = 32000e^1.2390323374562242

A = 110473

a function could be identified in 3 ways either on a chart,graph, or ordered pairs. first a function is that each point has its own. the rule is that there can be many x's to one y but there can not be 2 x's at different y's. so on a graph when you put a straight line through the y's there should be one dot only to be a function.

step-by-step explanation:

x is greater than 5

step-by-step explanation:

2x+7 is greater than 17

    -7                           -7

2x is greater than 10

divide by 2 each side

x is greater than 5
