Question

Two neighboring towns have had population changes over a ten year period that follow exponential growth or exponential decay patterns.

- The population of Town A was 20,000 in the year 2000. It has increased in population by 6.2% per year.

- The population of Town B was 60,000 in the year 2000. It has decreased in population by 9.3% per year.

 

(a) Write n exponential model to describe the population of Town A.

 

(b) Write n exponential model to describe the population of Town B.

 

(c) Determine the year when Town A and Town B have the same population. Write our answer to this part in the box below. [You will only receive partial credit if solving by guess-and-check]
