In a small town the population is p0 = 1000
at the beginning of a year. The population regularly increases by 2 percent per year
and moreover 50 new inhabitants per year
come to live in the town. How many years does the town need to see its population greater or equal to p = 1200
inhabitants?
需要多少年 p0 才能超過 p, 每年人口成長率為 percent, 每年移入人口數為 aug
At the end of the first year there will be:
1000 + 1000 * 0.02 + 50 => 1070 inhabitants
At the end of the 2nd year there will be:
1070 + 1070 * 0.02 + 50 => 1141 inhabitants (number of inhabitants is an integer)
At the end of the 3rd year there will be:
1141 + 1141 * 0.02 + 50 => 1213
It will need 3 entire years.
