Question

The population of a town over the years 2000-2007 is shown in the given figure.

It can be inferred that during 2000-2007,

The correct answer is
the rate of increase of the rate of increase of the population increased linearly

The question requires us to analyze the rate of population growth from 2000 to 2007. Let's examine the data in the provided graph.

From the graph, the population values are:

  • 2000: 50,000
  • 2001: 50,400
  • 2002: 51,600
  • 2003: 53,600
  • 2004: 56,400
  • 2005: 60,000
  • 2006: 64,400
  • 2007: 69,600

We first calculate the annual increases in population:

  • 2001 - 2000: 50,400 - 50,000 = 400
  • 2002 - 2001: 51,600 - 50,400 = 1,200
  • 2003 - 2002: 53,600 - 51,600 = 2,000
  • 2004 - 2003: 56,400 - 53,600 = 2,800
  • 2005 - 2004: 60,000 - 56,400 = 3,600
  • 2006 - 2005: 64,400 - 60,000 = 4,400
  • 2007 - 2006: 69,600 - 64,400 = 5,200

Next, we observe the increments in these annual increases:

  • 2002 increase - 2001 increase: 1,200 - 400 = 800
  • 2003 - 2002: 2,000 - 1,200 = 800
  • 2004 - 2003: 2,800 - 2,000 = 800
  • 2005 - 2004: 3,600 - 2,800 = 800
  • 2006 - 2005: 4,400 - 3,600 = 800
  • 2007 - 2006: 5,200 - 4,400 = 800

The increments of 800 per year indicate that the rate of increase in the rate of increase of the population is consistent and linear.

Therefore, the correct answer is: the rate of increase of the rate of increase of the population increased linearly.
