This increase in the population of Cavite province follows a pattern. that is ,1.5% of its previous years population is added to the present to obtain the next. if the current population of Cavite is 3,000,000. list the provinces population for the next two years.

 

Answer:

3,090,675

Step-by-step explanation:

an = a₁(1 + rate)ⁿ⁻¹

an = last term ⇒  Unknown

n = the nth sequence, 3 or 3rd year

rate - 1.5% or 0.015

a = 3,000,000

Find the population in the next two years if the present population is 3,000,000.

a3 = 3,000,000 (1 + 0.015)^3-1

a3 = 3,000,000 (1.015)^2

a3 = 3,000,000(1.030225)

a3 = 3,090,675
