Population Growth Calculation

Hard Heart Of Algebra Linear Functions

Take a look at this scenario:

In a town, the population is modeled by the linear equation:

$$ P(t) = 3000 + 150t $$

where $P(t)$ represents the population at year $t$, with $t=0$ corresponding to the year 2020.

What will be the population in the year 2030 according to this model?

$$ 3300 $$

$$ 3600 $$

$$ 3900 $$

$$ 4000 $$
