Complete the table shown to the right for the population growth model for a certain country.

Question

2005 population (millions) = 110.6

Projected 2020 population (millions)= K

Projected growth rate: 0.0087

Solve for K

Answer 1

K=Po(e^rt) t=2020-2005= 15, r= .0087, Po= 110.6

K= 110.6e^15(.0087)

= about 126.0174122

= about 126 million and 17,412 in 2020 at .87% growth rate
