A town's population has been growing linearly. In 2003, the population was 25000, and the population has been growing by 1200 people each year.Write an equation for the population
x
years after 2003.
in year 2003 (starting year) it had 25000 pple let's say a=25000 so steadily each year it increases by 1200 which means the difference between two consecutive years would be 1200 pple now this is an arithmetic progression using Tx=a+(x-1)1200 tx= 25000+(x-1)1200 tx=25000+1200x-1200 tx= 23800+1200x that's the eqn after X years
