Response:
I’m leaning towards b, but d could also be a possibility; it’s hard to determine given it’s a screen capture.
Answer:
y = 32,000 + 2560(x)
Explanation:
After maintaining a stable population of 32,000 for several years, an exponential growth of 8% from 32,000 occurs in the next year, raising the population to 34560.
To calculate this,
8% of 32000 = 8/100 × 32000 = 2560
Now, adding this growth to the original population results in:
2560 + 32000 = 34, 560
The figure of 34560 represents the population after 1 year.
To predict the town's population over x years, expressed with y as the population, the following formula can be applied:
y = 32,000 + 2560(x)
Testing the equation with values of x = 4 years and 3 years yields:
y = 32,000 + 2560(4) = 32,000 + 10240 = 42240 people will reside in the town in four years
y = 32,000 + 2560(3) = 32,000 + 7680 = 39680 people will reside in the town in three years.
Answer:
Transitional Phase
Explanation:
Characteristics of the TRANSITIONAL phase in demographic transition include falling death rates shaped by better food supply and enhancements in healthcare while birth rates stay elevated.
The population continues to rise during this phase due to increasing birth rates and diminishing death rates, with the latter decreasing mainly as the economy and society evolve toward a developed state.
The demographic change theory provides a framework for understanding shifts in mortality, fertility, and population growth rates as societies transition between different demographic stages.
