A city's population is represented by the function P=25,000(1.0095)t P=25,000(1.0095)t , where t is time in years.
How could the function be rewritten to help identify the daily growth rate of the population? What is the approximate daily growth rate?
Function
P= 25,000 (1.00095 ^1/365t) ^365t
Functions:
P = 25,000 (1.0095 ^1/365) ^365t
P = 25,000 (1 + 0.0095) ^t/365
P = 25,000 (1 + 0.0095 ^1/365) ^365t
Daily Growth Rates:
0.003%
0.95%
0.0012%
