In 2015, the population of a district was 10,600. With an annual growth rate of approximately 4%, what will the population be in 2040 according to the exponential growth function

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a exponential growth function is given by

where

y is the population

x is the time in years since year 2015

a is the initial value

r is the rate of change

we have

substitute

In the year 2040 the value of x is equal to

substitute

hello :

by applying the distributive property :

6 × 4.3 = 6 × ( 4 + 0.3 )

            =   (6 ×   4) + (6 ×   0.3)

            = 24 + 1.8

6 × 4.3 = 25.8
