To find out the population growth, we first need to understand the factors involved. We will consider births, deaths, immigration, and emigration. The formula for population growth can be given as:
[tex]\[ \text{Population Growth} = (\text{Birth Rate} - \text{Death Rate}) + (\text{Immigration} - \text{Emigration}) \][/tex]
Given the values:
- Birth rate = 5
- Death rate = 4
- Immigration = 8
- Emigration = 6
Let's break this down step-by-step:
1. Calculate the net effect of birth and death rates:
[tex]\[ 5 - 4 = 1 \][/tex]
2. Calculate the net effect of immigration and emigration:
[tex]\[ 8 - 6 = 2 \][/tex]
3. Add the results of these two calculations to get the overall population growth:
[tex]\[ 1 + 2 = 3 \][/tex]
So, the population growth is [tex]\( 3 \)[/tex].
Now, we need to determine the population status:
- If the population growth is greater than 0, the population is increasing.
- If the population growth is less than 0, the population is decreasing.
- If the population growth is 0, the population is stable.
In this case, the population growth is [tex]\( 3 \)[/tex], which is greater than 0. Therefore, the population is increasing.
Let's fill in the formula with these steps:
[tex]\[
(5 - 4) + (8 - 6)
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
1 + 2
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
= 3
\][/tex]
Since the population growth is [tex]\( 3 \)[/tex], the population is increasing.
So, the complete step-by-step solution reads:
[tex]\[ (5 - 4) + (8 - 6) = 1 + 2 = 3 \][/tex]
Since the population growth is [tex]\( 3 \)[/tex], the population is increasing.
