Answer:

P(15) = (200,000)(1.08)15 = 634,434

Step-by-step explanation:

If the population at the beginning of 2000 was 200,000

Then the growth equation is P = Po(1.08)(y)     where year year 2000 was year 1 or y = 1

At the end of 2015 or  2015-2000 = 15 years later, or at the end of the 15th year

If the population at the beginning of 2000 was 200,000

Then the growth equation is P = Po(1.08)(y) where year year 2000 was year 1 or y = 1

At the end of 2015 or 2015-2000 = 15 years later, or at the end of the 15th year:

Population P(15) = (200,000)(1.08)15 = 634,434 (
