The population of Adamsville grew from 8000 to 15000 in 5 years. Assuming uninhibited exponential​ growth, what is the expected population in an additional 3 ​years?

Answer 1

f(0) = 8000 is the initial population...

f(x) = 8000 * B^x

15000 = 8000 * b^5

15000/8000 = b^5

root5(15000/8000) = b = 1.133966577633027209616+

f(8) = 21873
