A city had a population of 110,000 in 1920. The population grew at a rate of 1% per year thereafter.
Which function could model this situation?
f(x) = 110,000(1)*
f(x) = 110,000(1.01)*
f(x) = 110,000(1.1)*
f(x) = 110,000(0.01)*
The correct function to model this situation would be f(x) = 110,000(1.01)*
To estimate the population in 1922 using the function f(x) = 110,000(1.01)*, we substitute x = 2 (since 1922 is 2 years after 1920) into the function:
f(2) = 110,000(1.01)^2
f(2) = 110,000(1.0201)
f(2) ≈ 112,211.01
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the estimated population in 1922 is 112,211 people.
Use the function you selected to estimate the population in 1922.
Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
