The population of a city in Texas is about 1,030,000. The population of the city in t years can be predicted using the equation P = 1,030,000 (1.12) t. According to this equation, what will the approximate population of the city be in 9 years? 10,382,400

2,856,271

Step-by-step explanation:

We presume your equation is intended to be ...

P = 1,030,000 (1.12) ^t

To find the prediction in 9 years, put 9 where t is and do the arithmetic.

P = 1030000 (1.12^9) ≈ 2,856,271

In 9 years, the population is predicted to be about 2,856,271.
