Answer:

This is the actual steps and answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{Exponential Functions:}

Exponential Functions:

y=ab^x

y=ab  

x

 

a=\text{starting value = }5000

a=starting value = 5000

r=\text{rate = }4\% = 0.04

r=rate = 4%=0.04

\text{Exponential Growth:}

Exponential Growth:

b=1+r=1+0.04=1.04

b=1+r=1+0.04=1.04

\text{Write Exponential Function:}

Write Exponential Function:

y=5000(1.04)^x

y=5000(1.04)  

x

 

Put it all together

\text{Plug in time for x:}

Plug in time for x:

y=5000(1.04)^{7}

y=5000(1.04)  

7

 

y= 6579.6589

y=6579.6589

Evaluate

y\approx 6580

y≈6580

round

The population after 7 years at the rate of 4% growth every year would be 6580.

What is the formula for exponential growth?

Exponential growth is a function that grows or decays at a constant percent rate.

The formula used is [tex]y = b(1 + r)^ t[/tex]. where, y is the exponential growth function, b is the initial amount, r rate, and t time interval.

From the information given,

b = 5000

r = 4% = 4/100

= 0.04

t = 7 years

Therefore

[tex]y = b(1 + r)^ t[/tex]

[tex]y = 5000(1 + 0.04)^7[/tex]

[tex]y = 5000(1.04)^7[/tex]

y = 6580

Thus, The population after 7 years at the rate of 4% growth every year would be 6580.
