The population of a city is currently 45,000 and is declining at a rate of 2% each year. Give a formula for determining the total population after a period of t years.

Respuesta :

The equation for calculating the total population after t years [tex]f(t) = ae^r^t[/tex]

Given;

A city has a current population of 45,000 people and is losing 2% of its residents annually.

To get the formula for determining the total population after a period of t years;

⇒ [tex]f(t) = ae^r^t[/tex]

Here, a → Initial population

          r → Rate of reduction

          t → Time or period

As r is decreasing rate r = -0.02

Assume t = 4;

[tex]f(4) = 45000e^-^0^.^0^2^(^4^)[/tex]

[tex]f(4) = 45000*0.923\\ f(4) = 41535[/tex]

Hence, the formula for determining the total population after a period of t years is [tex]f(t) = ae^r^t[/tex].
