The exponential equation is solved and the population in 2020 is given by the relation P ( A ) = 27,369
The exponential growth or decay formula is given by
x ( t ) = x₀ × ( 1 + r )ⁿ
x ( t ) is the value at time t
x₀ is the initial value at time t = 0.
r is the growth rate when r>0 or decay rate when r<0, in percent
t is the time in discrete intervals and selected time units
Given data ,
Let the initial population be P ( 0 ) = 4,200
Let the population in 10 years be P ( 1 ) = 5,000
Now , the population in 100 years is P ( 100 ) =
The exponential growth formula is given by
x ( t ) = x₀ × ( 1 + r )ⁿ
r = ln(5,000/4,200) / 10 = 0.017
Now we can use this value of r to predict the population in 2020, which is 100 years after 1920:
P(100) = 5,000 × e^(0.017 × 100) = 27,369
Hence , the predicted population of Centerville in 2020, assuming exponential growth, is 27,369

Answer:
the real answer is 28588
Step-by-step explanation:
For a better understanding of the solution given here please find the diagram in the file attached.
We know from the Hypotenuse Leg Theorem (the HL theorem) that "if the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent."
Thus, as can be seen from the diagram, Side LO (also called leg LO) is common to both the triangles LMO and LNO. Therefore, the additional information that will be required to prove the congruence is that the respective hypotenuses, MO and NO are equal.
