The population of the city was 169000 in 1992. The exponential growth rate was 1.2% per year. Find the exponental growth function in terms of t, where t is the number of years since 1992.

Answer 1

P = 169e^.012t where 169= 169,000 and 0.012 = 1.2%, t = number of years since 2000

P = the population in year t+2000 with initial 2000 population = 169,000 and growth rate 1.2%
