Growth rate = (Present - Past)/Past
Plugging in what we know
Growth rate =(5600â’4420)/4420
Thus
Growth rate=.26697
Now we can plug the growth rate into our first formula which gives us
P=5600e^(.26697â‹…2)
Solve for P and we get
P
=
9551.58
however since you can not have .58 of a person we round down to 9551.
So Youngtown will have 9551 citizens in the year 2000
