A town has a population of 19000 and grows at 4.5 % every year. To the nearest year, how long will it be until the population will reach 51600 ?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step:1 ：Use the exponential growth formula: (Years = frac{log(frac{FinalPopulation}{InitialPopulation})}{log(1 + GrowthRate)})Step:2 ：Plug in the given values: (Years = frac{log(frac{51600}{19000})}{log(1 + 0.045)})Step:3 ：Calculate the result: (Years approx 22.6977)Step:4 ：Round the result to the nearest year: (boxed{23}) years
