Growth rate is the rate at which the population increases.
The population after 6 years would be 35217
Given
[tex]a = 30546[/tex] --- the initial population
[tex]r = 2.4\%[/tex] --- the growth rate
The population (P) after 6 years is calculated using:
[tex]P(n) = a(1 + r)^n[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]P(6) = 30546(1 + 2.4\%)^6[/tex]
[tex]P(6) = 30546(1.024)^6[/tex]
[tex]P(6) = 35217[/tex] ---- approximated
Hence, the population after 6 years would be 35217
