Answer:
Part 1) Australia 
Part 2) China 
Part 3) Mexico 
Part 4) Zaire 
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The equation of a exponential growth function is given by

where
P(t) is the population
t is the number of years since year 2000
a is he initial value
r is the rate of change
Part 1) Australia
we have

substitute


Find the expected population in 2025,
Find the value of t
t=2005-2000=5 years
substitute the value of t in the equation

Part 2) China
we have

substitute


Find the expected population in 2025,
Find the value of t
t=2005-2000=5 years
substitute the value of t in the equation

Part 3) Mexico
we have

substitute


Find the expected population in 2025,
Find the value of t
t=2005-2000=5 years
substitute the value of t in the equation

Part 4) Zaire
we have

substitute


Find the expected population in 2025,
Find the value of t
t=2005-2000=5 years
substitute the value of t in the equation

You have -4,-3,-2, that is a 3 out of a total of 21 points or numbers on the number line. 3/21 is reduces to 1/7.
3 goes into 21 , 7 times. That is why it reduces to 1/7.
The answer to the question is (2,-2) d
