Answer:
About 316,955 people
Step-by-step explanation:
The population of this city can be modeled with the formula [tex]P=I\cdot(1.05^t)[/tex], where P represents the current population, I represents the initial population, and t represents the amount of time in years since the start of the model. Plugging in 145,201 for I and (2037-2021)=16 for t, we get:
[tex]P=145201\cdot(1.05)^{16}\approx145201\cdot2.18\approx 316955[/tex]
Initial population=145,201
Total years=2037-2001=36
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto S=P\left(1+\dfrac{r}{100}\right)^t[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto S=145201\left(1+\dfrac{5}{100}\right)^{36}[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto S=145201\left(\dfrac{105}{100}\right)^{36}[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto S=145201(1.05)^{16}[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto S=145201(2.18)[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto S\approx 316955[/tex]
