solve for P = 82000 (and round up, if applicable)
I Need the exact answer
How do I find that using logs?
so P0 (1 + r)^n = 82000
what happens if you log both sides?
(you want to solve for n)
So what now?
Shoot forgot to reply
what did you get?
It didn’t work
we want to find
P = 82000
we have
P = P0 (1 + r)^n
hence
P0 (1 + r)^n = 82000
now, take ln of both sides
So P0 being 28150 is correct, right?
yes
the population was 40754 in 2014, so
28150 * (1 + r)^9 = 40754
