Answer:
After 9 years the population would be 956. The exponential growth function would be [tex]x(956)=800_{0} (1+\frac{2}{100})^{9}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
y=a(1+r)x
a = initial amount
r = growth rate as a decimal
x = number of time intervals passed (days, months, years)
y = amount after x time
This formula is used to express a function of exponential growth.
