Answer:
Hence correct choice is B. 58,381
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation is [tex]y=18000(1.04)^x[/tex].
There x represents number of years. We need to find about which is the best prediction for the population in year 30.
To find that we will plug x=30 into above formula and simplify
[tex]y=18000(1.04)^x[/tex]
[tex]y=18000(1.04)^{30}[/tex]
[tex]y=18000(3.24339751003)[/tex]
[tex]y=58381.1551805[/tex]
Which is approx 58381
Hence correct choice is B. 58,381.
