Higher Order Thinking The graph shows the population of a certain city, y, over the course of 10 years, . The equation of the trend line shown is y = 1.9x + 21 a. Use the equation of the trend line to predict the number of years it will take for the population to reach 52, 900 .

b. In the tenth year, the population was actually 2,000 people from what the trend line shows. What could the actual number of people be in 10 years ?

answer:   14

step-by-step explanation:          

pu you stank bo u ugly bo lol

the line of

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
