After years of maintaining a steady population of 32,000, the population of a town begins to grow exponentially. after 1 year and an increase of 8% per year, the population is 34,560. which equation can be used to predict, y, the number of people living in the town after x years? (round population values to the nearest whole number.)

The equation used to predict the number of people living in the town after x years is y = 32,000 (1.08)x

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

So, to obtain "y" (the number of people living in the town after x years), we have to multiply the initial population by 1+ 0.08 (the growth rate is 8%/100=0.08 and the original value) and the number of years (x).

Mathematically speaking:

y = 32,000 (1+0.08) x

y= 32,000 (1.08) x

The equation used to predict the number of people living in the town after x years is y = 32,000 (1.08)x

the height of the surface increases from the center out to the sides of the road.

step-by-step explanation:

as we move out we move away from the x-axis.

and as mentioned in the problem statement that height of a road increases when we move away from the center x.

hence proved that 3rd option

the height of the surface increases from the center out to the sides of the road.

is the correct option.

answer is  

a.

p = 78
