The population of a town was 5655 in 2010. The population grows at a rate of 1.4% annually. (a) Use the exponential growth model to write an equation that estimates the population t years after 2010. (a) Use the equation you wrote to estimate the population of the town in 2022. Show your work

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for exponential growth which is expressed as

A = P(1 + r)^t

Where

A represents the population after t years.

t represents the number of years.

P represents the initial population.

r represents rate of growth.

From the information given,

P = 5655

r = 1.4% = 1.4/100 = 0.14,

a) Therefore, the equation that estimates the population t years after 2010 is

A = 5655(1 + 0.14)^t

A = 5655(1.14)^t

b) in 2022, the number of years t = 2022 - 2010 = 12

Therefore,

A = 5655(1.14)^12

A = 27245

correct me if i am wrong.
