If a city that currently has a population of 1000 triples in size every 8 years, what will the population be in 24 years and is the population growth modeled by a linear function or an exponential function?

After 24 years population of the city will be 27000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the population of a city gets tripled in 8 years means the sequence formed is an exponential function.

Now the function will be

Here P = Population after time t

P0 = initial population

r = common ratio

k = constant

t = period

Now we put the values in the equation.

8k = 1

Now we have to find the population after 24 years

Therefore after 24 years population of the city will be 27000.
