The 2nd attachment is the complete assignment I am only responsible for part 3.
Decide on an initial population of the town in the year 2010. Use this value of for each of the scenarios. P0 = POPULATION 3000
Choose the amount of population growth each year = 50
III. Growth Modeled by a Radical Equation:
Suppose instead that the town experiences growth that can be modeled by the following: where t is the number of years from 2010.
a) Insert the value of that your group has decided upon into the equation above. Use the Equation Editor or type square root of t as sqrt(t).
Answer:
b) Fill in the following chart. Round to the nearest whole person when necessary.
