| Constructing Linear and Exponential Functions - Application |
|---|
| In 1980, the estimated population of Pottsville, USA was 32,711 people. By 1981, the population had grown to 33,427 people. |
| Assuming that the growth is linear, construct a linear function that expresses the population of Pottsville years since 1980 and use it to predict the population in the year 1986. Round to the nearest thousandth as needed. If this growth rate continues, the population in the year 1986 will be approximately people. Round your answer to the nearest person. |
