Answer :
Let us set up the equation:
[tex]total population = 10000*(2)^{68/17}=10000*(2^4)=160000[/tex] people
- 10000 is the initial population
- 2 is the rate at which the population grows
- 68/17 is the number of periods that the population grows
Hope that helps!
Assuming a town with a population of 10,000 doubles in size every 17 years. The population 68 years from now is 160,000.
Population
P(t) = 10000×2t/12
Where:
t=time; k is a constant
P(68) = 10000×2^68/12
P(68) = 10000×2^4
P(68) = 10000×16
P(68) = 160,000
Inconclusion assuming a town with a population of 10,000 doubles in size every 17 years. The population 68 years from now is 160,000.
