the population of a city increases by 4,000 people each year. in 2050, the population is projected to be 450,000 people. what is an equation that gives the city's population "p" (in thousands of people) x years after 2010?

Answer 1

Let "x" represent the number of years after 2010.

Since the population increases by 4,000 people each year, the population "p" (in thousands of people) x years after 2010 can be calculated as:

p = 4x + 400

Here, we add 400 to account for the population in 2010, which is 400,000 people (since it is given that the population in 2050 is projected to be 450,000 people).
