In 1980, the population of a town was 2000 people. The exponential function P(t)=2000(1.05)t models the population of the town since 1980. Which statements are true regarding the population of the town? Select THREE that apply. A.

The population has increased by 5% each year since 1980.

B.

The population has increased by 105% each year since 1980.

C.

The population has increased by 5 people each year since 1980.

D.

Each year since 1980, the population is 105% of the population of the previous year.

E.

Each year since 1980, the population is 1.05 times the population of the previous year.

B. The population has increased by 105% each year since 1980.

D. Each year since 1980, the population is 105% of the population of the previous year.

E. Each year since 1980, the population is 1.05 times the population of the previous year.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are given the exponential function:

The exponential function P(t)=2000(1.05)^t models the population of the town since 1980.

Exponential growth rate =

P(t) = P(1 + r)^t

Where r = growth rate in percentage

P(t) = Size of the population after t years

t = time in years

Hence,

From the formula above, we can say =

1 + r = 1.05

r = 1.05 - 1

r = 0.05

Converting to percentage = 0.05 × 100 = 5%

1.05 can also converted to percentage and this = 1.05 × 100 = 105 %

The population has increased by 105% each year since 1980.

Hence, Options, B, D and E is correct

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents

the red lines denote the population of the bacteria after 35 hours. that would be 2,409.24. the y-intercept is the blue line which is 800 because that is the starting point. the equation used to make the graph is 800(1.032)^h, where h is the number of hours.
