The population of a small town in central Washington is growing at an exponential rate. In 2017 the population was 22000 people. In 2028, the population grew to 23876 people. If the growth rate continues at the same rate, what will the population be in 2040? Use P = Poet, where t is the number of years since 2017, k is the growth rate (as a decimal) and Po is the initial population. The growth rate (as a decimal) is The population in 2040 is Round to 5 decimal places. Round to the nearest whole person.
