Suppose a city's population is 740,000. If the population grows by 12,620 per year, find the population of the city in 7 years

Set up the population function P(y) where y is the number of years since now:
P(y) = Current population + Growth per year * y

Plugging in our numbers at y = 7, we get:
P(7) = 740000 + 12620(7)
P(7) = 740000 + 88340
P(7) = 828,340
