Question

The population in a particular country is growing at the rate of 2.8% per year. If 7,638,000 people lived there in 1999, how many will there be in the year 2005

f(x)=YoE^0.028t

Answer 1

f(t) = y₀e^0.028t

 

y₀ = 7,638,000

 

t = (2005 - 1999) years = 6 years

 

Just plug in the numbers and evaluate.

 

f(6) = 7,638,000 e^0.028(6) = ?
