Lesson 5)
The population in a city is modeled by the equation pd) = 100,000 (1 + 0.3)
where is the number of decades since 1970
a. What do the 0.3 and 100,000 mean in this situation?
b. Write an equation for the function f to represent the population y years after
1970. Show your reasoning.
c. Write an equation for the function g to represent the population e centuries
after 1970. Show your reasoning.
