After years of maintaining a steady population of 32,000, the population of a town begins to grow exponentially. After 1 year and an increase of 8% per year, the population is 34,560. Which equation can be used to predict, y, the number of people living in the town after x years? (Round population values to the nearest whole number.)

    The equation used to predict the number of people living in the town after x years is y = 32,000 (1.08) x

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

    Initial population: 32,000 Growth per year: 8% Years: x

    So, to obtain "y" (the number of people living in the town after x years), we have to multiply the initial population by 1 + 0.08 (the growth rate is 8%/100=0.08 and the original value) and the number of years (x).

    Mathematically speaking:

    y = 32,000 (1+0.08) x

    y = 32,000 (1.08) x

    The equation used to predict the number of people living in the town after x years is y = 32,000 (1.08) x
