The first time a census was taken in Esinville, the population was 12,621. Each year after that, the population was about 6% higher than it was the previous year. Sketch the graph that represents the situation. Let x represent the number of years since the first census was taken. What are the coordinates of the point that contains the y-intercept?Although answers are nice, I need step by step to help me understand how to solve this. Its exponential growth I believe?
Accepted Solution
A:
step-by-step Population was 12.621 when it was measured
Next year it rose by 6%, so add that 6% to 100% and multiply with population measured
12.621 × (100%+6%) = 12.621 × 106% = 13.379,24
Since a man cant be 0,24, we count that as +1
13.379,24 = 13.379 + 1 = 13.380
That was for a year after measurement, now let's calculate for another year Now, add those 6% to a new population number
13.380 × (100%+6%) = 13.380 × 106% = 14.182,8
since 0,8 isn't a man, instead we add again +1
14.182,8 = 14.182 + 1 = 14.183
now let's do it for another year after last, by adding those 6% to a newest population number
