Linear trend-population growth


Assignment:

Choose the amount of population growth each year = example 350
(Hint: Choose a whole number for your growth rate, rather than a percent.)

a) Fill in the following chart:
Year (t) Population (P)
t=0 P = 350
(2010)

t=1
(2011)
t=2
(2012)
t=3
(2013)
t=6
(2016)

b) Find a linear equation in the form P = mt + b(y=mx+b), which gives the population, P, t years from 2010.
c) Use your equation in part b to approximate the population in the year 2030.
d) Use your equation in part b to approximate how many years it will take the population to reach 7000.

Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
