Question

a country's population in 1994 was 52 million in 2000 it was 55 million estimate the population in 2003

Answer 1

[email protected] = 52,000,000
[email protected] = 55,000,000
[email protected] = ?
r = ?

Equation: P = Po * e^(rt)
-----
Solve r:
P/Po = e^(rt)

ln(P/Po) = rt
r = ln(P/Po)/t
r = ln([email protected]/[email protected])/(2000-1994)
r = ln(55M/52M)/6
r = 0.009348

----
Solve for [email protected]
t = 2003 - 1994 = 9

[email protected] = [email protected] * e^(rt)
[email protected] = 52M * e^(0.009348*9)
[email protected] = 56,564,292.9

approximately 57M.
