According to the most recent United States census data, Spalding County's estimated population in
2020 is 65,403 people with a growth rate of 1.29%.
Assuming that the growth rate will remain the same each year, use a function to determine the
estimated population of Spalding County in 2025. Show the steps you used to solve the problem
and write your answer in a complete sentence. I used a linear function to estimate the population
with the growth rate of 1.29% of the 65,403=843.6987 increasing the population by the same
number every year.
