Answer:

  3. p(t) = 7650(1.015^t)

  4. p(22) = 10,615

Step-by-step explanation:

3. If we let p represent the population t years after 1995, we can write the equation using a growth factor of 1+1.5% = 1.015:

  p(t) = 7650(1.015^t)

__

4. p(2017 -1995) = p(22) = 7650(1.015^22) ≈ 10,615

The population is modeled to be 10,615 in 2017.
