Question

The population of a town is 135,000 in 2016 and grows at a rate of 1.6% per year. Write the letter of your choice. 

__________ a) Give the recursive function for the population after n years.

A) P0=135000     Pn=Pn−1(.016)P0=135000     Pn=Pn-1(.016)

B) P0=132984     Pn=Pn−1(.016)P0=132984     Pn=Pn-1(.016)

C) P0=135000     Pn=Pn−1(1.016)P0=135000     Pn=Pn-1(1.016)

D) P0=132984     Pn=Pn−1(.016)P0=132984     Pn=Pn-1(.016)

___________ b) Give the explicit function for the population after n years.

A) Pn=135000 (1.016)nPn=135000 (1.016)

B) Pn=132984(1.016)nPn=1329841.016n

C) Pn=135000(0.016)nPn=1350000.016n

D) Pn=132984(0.016)nPn=1329840.016n

c) What is the population in 2022? _________________________

d) When will the population be 360,000? (Round to the nearest tenth)________________
