Easy
The initial population of a village is 750. Every year, 50 people move from a nearby city to the village.
Make a table of values for t varying from 0 to 10 years and show how the population, P, increases every year.
SOLUTION
| t (years) | P (Population) |
|---|---|
| 0 | 750 |
| 1 | 800 |
| 2 | 850 |
| 3 | 900 |
| 4 | 950 |
| 5 | 1000 |
| 6 | 1050 |
| 7 | 1100 |
| 8 | 1150 |
| 9 | 1200 |
| 10 | 1250 |
🏆
Final Answer : Population increases by constant 50 each year.
Concept Note
When the population grows by the same number every year, the change is linear. The table helps visualise steady, predictable growth which makes future population easy to calculate.
