Equation represents the population of the city 'p' in thousand of people in x years when in 2005 projected population is 450,000 and increases by 4,000 people each year is given by p = 4x + 450.
Total population in 2010 is equal to 470,000 people.
As given in the question,
Let 'p' represent the population in thousands of people.
Let x represents the number of years.
Population projected in 2005 = 450,000 people
= 450 ( in thousand people)
Population increases by 4000 people each year that is equal to 4 (in thousand of people)
Required equation to represent the population in x years ( in thousand of people ) is given by:
p = 4x + 450
Population in 2010 is equal to :
p = 4 ( 2010 - 2005) + 450
= 4(5) + 450
= 20 + 450
= 470 ( in thousand of people)
= 470,000 people
Therefore, equation represents the population of the city 'p' in thousand of people in x years when in 2005 projected population is 450,000 and increases by 4,000 people each year is given by p = 4x + 450.
Total population in 2010 is equal to 470,000 people.
