The function y= 40,000(1.05)^t represents the population of a town t years after 2010. By what percent does the population increase each year?
What will the population be in 2017? Round your answer to the nearest hundred.

So the population formula is A=Population/Density. So y is = 40,000(1.05) population/ and the 2010 represent the percent because it’s per each year per means for each and the population in 2017 will be:

40,000(1.05)/2017(2010)
So the population will be 185.9752903610
round to the nearest hundred
186
