Modeling with Linear Functions · Exercise 50
In 2003, a town’s population was 1431. By 2007 the population had grown to 2134. Assume the population is changing linearly.
ⓐHow much did the population grow between the year 2003 and 2007?
ⓑHow long did it take the population to grow from 1431 people to 2134 people?
ⓒWhat is the average population growth per year?
ⓓWhat was the population in the year 2000?
ⓔFind an equation for the population, of the town years after 2000.
ⓕUsing your equation, predict the population of the town in 2014.
