Question

The function f(x)=501170(0.98)x gives the population of a Texas City x years after 1995. What was the population in 1995?

Answer 1

Answer:

The population of a Texas City in 1,995 was $501,170\ people$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$f(x)=501,170(0.98^{x})$

we know that

The population in 1,995 is for $x=0$

so

substitute the value of $x=0$ in the function f(x)

$f(0)=501,170(0.98^{0})=501,170\ people$
