The population after two years will be 5408000.

Explanation:

The city's population is 5000000. 4% is the same as 0.04, so multiply 5000000 by 0.04 and add it to 5000000.

#5000000*0.04+5000000=5200000#.

This is the population after one year. Repeat the process again to get the population after two years.

#5200000*0.04+5200000=5408000#.
