Respuesta :

Answer: 3,965,481

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  In 2016, the Maricopa County population is approximately 3.817 million.

i.e. Initial population= 3.817 million =3,817,000

Of the population increases from the current population by 3.89 % over the next 5 years,

Population increased = 3.89% of 3,817,000

= 0.0389 (3817000)

= 148481.3 ≈ 148481

Population in 2021= 3,817,000 +148,481 =3,965,481

Hence, the population in 2021 =  3,965,481

Population in 2021 is 4.6185 million

Growth rate:

Given that;

Population in 2016 = 3.817 million

Growth rate of population = 3.89% = 0.0389

Number of year = 5 year

Find:

Population in 2021

Computation:

Population in 2021 = 3.817[1+0.0389]⁵

Population in 2021 = 3.817[1.0389]⁵

Population in 2021 = 3.817[1.21]

Population in 2021 = 4.6185 million
