Assume that the population grows exponentially with constant annual percent increase, r. a. The population of a city was 1,373 in 1990. Write a formula in terms of r for the population of the city t years later. P(t) = ? b. In 2000, the population was 2,964. Write an equation and solve for r. What was the annual percent increase to the nearest hundredth of a percent? _____ %
