A town\'s population has been growing linearly. In 2003, the population was 45,000, and the population has been growing by 1700 people each year. Write an equation, P{t), for the population t years after 2003.

Solution

value of t corresponding to year 2003 is 0

given in year 2003 the population is 45000

and population growing by 1700 people per year

the population t years after 2003 is ,P(t)=45000 +1700t
