The population of a school is 800 students and is increasing at a rate of 2% per year. Write
an exponential growth function, then find the population of the school after 9 years.
Why is it not giving the right answer

Respuesta :

Answer:

After 9 years the population would be 956. The exponential growth function would be [tex]x(956)=800_{0} (1+\frac{2}{100})^{9}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

y=a(1+r)x

a = initial amount

r = growth rate as a decimal

x = number of time intervals passed (days, months, years)

y = amount after x time

This formula is used to express a function of exponential growth.
