4,31,784.999454 will be the population of Tacoma in 2010 .
The exponent of a number is the number of times it is multiplied by itself.
Positive, negative, zero, and rational/fractional exponents are the four kinds.
The value of the number may be deduced from the exponent, which is the total number of times the base number must be multiplied by the same base.
If the population at the beginning of 2000 was 200,000
Then the growth equation is P = Po(1.08)(y) where year year 2000 was year 1 or y = 1
At the end of 2015 or 2010-2000 = 15 years later, or at the end of the 15th year:
Population P(10) = (200,000)(1.08)10 = 4,31,784.999454
