Question

Consider a population that grows according to a linear growth model. The population in the fifth generation is P_5 - 43 and the population in the ninth generation is P_9 = 71. The common difference is d = A) 14 B) 7 C) 28 D) 4 B) none of these Starting in the year 2000. the number of crimes committed each year in Middletown is predicted to grow according to a linear growth model. During the year 2000. Middletown recorded 2 crimes (P_0 = 2). During the year 2001. Middletown recorded 6 crimes (P_1 = 6). According to the model, how many crimes are likely to be committed in Middletown during 2002? 6) __ A) 24 B) 12 C) 18 D) 10 E) none of these According to the model, how many crimes are likely to be committed in Middletown during 2050?
