Modeling with Linear Functions · Exercise 17

Consider this scenario: A town has an initial population of 75,000. It grows at a constant rate of 2,500 per year for 5 years.

Find the linear function that models the town’s population $P$ as a function of the year, $t,$ where $t$ is the number of years since the model began.
