• In 2030, the population of the state will be 54.9 million people.
To find the population in the year 2030, plug in x = 30 into the linear model:
y = 0.83(30) + 30
y = 24.9 + 30
y = 54.9 million
Therefore, the population of the state in the year 2030 will be 54.9 million people.
The population growth of a state since 2000 in millions of people is represented by a linear model. Using the trend line,
y = 0.83x + 30, predict the population, y, in the year 2030. Let x = 30 because the year 2030 is 30 years after the year
2000. (1 ротг)
