Population since 2000 has been approximately linear. In 2006 the population was 1148 and in 2014 the population was 1348. What is the rate of population growth?

Respuesta :

Answer:

2.03% Rate of Population Growth.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

Given, In 2006 the population was 1148 and in 2014 the population was 1348.

2006⇒2014  (8 Years)

So, [tex]1148 * (1+\frac{x}{100} )^{8} = 1348[/tex]

[tex](1+\frac{x}{100} ) = \sqrt[8]{1.1742}[/tex]

(1 + x/100) = 1.0202

x/100 = 0.020276

x = 2.03% Rate of Population Growth
