Constructing Linear and Exponential Functions - Application

In 1980, the estimated population of Pottsville, USA was 36,372 people. By 1981, the population had grown to 37,162 people.

Assuming that the growth is exponential, construct an exponential function E(t) that expresses the population of Pottsville t years since 1980 and use it to predict the population in the year 1988. Round to the nearest thousandth as needed. = If this growth rate continues, the population in the year 1988 will be approximately_____. Round your answer to the nearest person. people.​
