Answer:
1, 104, 539, 727 people.
Step-by-step explanation:
This will be an exponential function.
The equation for such is [tex]f(x) = a(b)^{x}[/tex].
a = initial value, in this case, 21,802.
b = multiplier, in this case, 4.7.
x = time, in this case, 7.
1. Insert your variables:
[tex]f(x) = 21,802(4.70)^{7}[/tex]
2. Solve parenthesis.
[tex]4.7^{7} = 50,662.312[/tex]
[tex]f(x) = 21,802(50,662.312)[/tex]
3. Solve.
[tex](21,802)(50,662.312) = 1,104,539,727.23[/tex]
You would round you answer off, since you can't have 23% of a person, and your answer would be 1, 104, 539, 727 people.
