Population Growth in Middleville and Little Ville

The video tutorial explains the population growth of Middleville and Littleville since 2000, using linear functions to model their growth. Middleville's growth is represented by the function M(T) = 850T + 11,500, while Littleville's growth is modeled by L(T) = 850T + 8,525. The tutorial demonstrates how to derive these functions and calculate future populations, specifically for the year 2020.
