A town's population has been growing linearly. In 2003 the population was 29,000. The population has been growing by 700 people each year.


Write an equation for the population, P,

x

x years after 2003

Verified Answer :

Answer: The required equation is,

P = 29000 + 700x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The initial population = 29,000,

Since, each year the population is increased by 700,

So, the additional number of people after x years = 700x

Also, the total population after x years = Initial population + Addition population

⇒ P = 29000 + 700x

Which is the required linear equation.

The population after x years will be P = 29000 + 700x

Let the population after the years be represented by P

Population of the town in 2003 = 29000

Annual increase in growth = 700

Then, the population after x years will be:

P = 29000 + 700(x)

P = 29000 + 700x

Therefore, the population will be P = 29000 + 700x.
