Tacoma's population in 2014 will be 587,439 people

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a exponential growth function  is given by the formula

where

y is Tacoma's population in thousand

x is the number of years since 2000

r is the rate of change

a is the initial value

we have

substitute

what will Tacoma's population be in 2014?

Find the value of x

substitute the value of x

therefore

Tacoma's population in 2014 will be 587,439 people

the answer is a
