    Answer: the population will be 22234 after 11 years.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The growth rate is exponential. We would apply the formula for exponential growth which is expressed as

    A = P (1 + r) ^t

    Where

    A represents the population after t years.

    t represents the number of years.

    P represents the initial population.

    r represents rate of growth.

    From the information given,

    P = 13000

    r = 5% = 5/100 = 0.05

    t = 11 years

    Therefore,

    A = 13000 (1 + 0.05) ^11

    A = 13000 (1.05) ^11

    A = 22234 to the nearest whole number.
