transversal t.
What is the value of x?

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of an exponential equation is where y is the final count of the population after some time, x, goes by; a is the initial or starting amount of people (our unknown), and b is the growth rate. For us, y is 33620, the time is x = 2 years, and the growth rate is .025; but if we are growing we are expanding on the amount that we started with, so b = 100% + 2.5% = 102.5% and in decimal form, 1.025.

so

a = 32000

The initial population is 32000
