# Populace Model

Go to a website such as the U.S. Census Bureau?s data page and determine the population of your county/parish/borough for the year 2000, and then for another year after that time.

Let the variable t represent the number of years since the year 2000. Therefore, t = 0 represents the year 2000, t = 1 represents the year 2001, and so on.

State your county/parish/borough name and the website you used.

Write your data as two ordered pairs (t, P).

Now, you will create a population model based on these two data points! Population growth can be modeled by an exponential function of the form:

Substitute the population for the year 2000 for P0, and write the function.

Substitute the population value and t value from the second ordered pair into the function for P(t) and t, respectively.

Solve the equation for the value of k. Show each step in your calculations. Round k to four decimal places.

Substitute the values of Po and k in the original model, P(t) = Poekt, and write the function. You should now have a function that models the population of your county/parish/borough as a function of the time in years since 2000.

Anwser needs to be written in the same format as the mm212 pdf.

Use Auburn, AL as population.

• Did you check what the population was in the population in year 2000 and another year after in your country? It might be a good idea to mention it. Answering this kind of questions will take about 45 minutes. The offered bounty is too low.
