The table shows the population of a small town over time. The function P = 10,550(1.1)x models the population x years after the year 2000. The function P = 10,550(1.1)x models the population x years after the year 2000. For which year would this model most likely be sufficient to make a prediction of the population? 1950 2005 2025 2050

Answer:
2005 would be the most sufficient date to use this model for.

Explanation:
The model is using a short amount of time as its basis, we would not want to go too far into the future.
It would likely be less and less accurate the later we go. We also can't use 1950 because the function looks for years after 2000.
