The population of a new residential area in 2013 is 12 people. if the projected rate of increase in population is 10% annually, what would be the approximate projected population in 2018? round answer to nearest whole number.

  19

Step-by-step explanation:

In 5 years, the population will be multiplied by 1.1^5 ≈ 1.61. It will be about ...

  12 × 1.61 ≈ 19 . . . people

The population is multiplied by a factor of 1.1 each year. The number of times that factor is used as a multiplier (its exponent) is the number of years between 2013 and 2018, which is 5.

step-by-step explanation:

x^(1/6) · x^(1/6) · x^(1/6)   ·x^(1/6) = x^(4/6)   since we add the exponents

4/6 can be simplified to 2/3

the simplified form is x^(2/3)
