Question

A country’s population in 1994 was 32 million estimate the population in 2003

Answer 1

Answer:

36 million is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question given parameters are population in 1995 = 32 million

Population in 1997 = 34 million

Exponential growth formula is $P = Ae^{kt}$

And we have to find out the population in 2003.

Here From this formula initial population in 1995 $P=Ae^{k\times 0}=32$

Or P = A = 32 million

Now population in 1997

$P=32e^{k\times 2}=34$

$e^{k\times 2}=34/32=17/16$

$log(e^{2k})=log(\frac{17}{16})$

$2k=log17-log16$

$2k=0.0263$

$k=0.0131$

Now Population in 2003

$P=32e^{.0131\times 8}=32e^{0.105}$

P = 32×1.11 = 35.54 million ≅ 36 million
