For the following exercises, consider this scenario: A town’s population has been increased at a constant rate. In 2010 the population was 46,020. By 2012 the population had increased to 52,070. Assume this trend continues. 11. Predict the population in 2016. 12. Identify the year in which the population will reach 75,000.
