Given a population that grows following a linear growth mode

Given a population that grows following a linear growth model with and , find the following:

A. Find the common difference . d

B. Find the initial population, P0

C. Find a formula for the Nth term of the population sequence.

If growth is linear, slope will be constant

Or y = mx+b form where m is the common difference

d = slope of linear equation = m

B) INitial population is b i.e. y intercept

C) Nth term will be

y = mN+b

where m is the slope or common difference and b is initial population
