Answer:

b)-2.4% year

Explanation:

The population growth can be calculated by the following equation.

P(t) = P(0)e^{rt}

In which P(t) is the population in t years from now, P(0) is the population in the current year and r(decimal) is the growth rate.e = 2.71 is the Euler number.

The current population of South Korea is 50 million, so P(0) = 50,000,000

2750 is 2750 - 2019 is 731 years from now. So we have that t = 731. The population is going to be extinct, so P(731) = 0.

So, we can replace the values of P(0) and t in the equation, and see for which growth rate P(731) = 0.

a) 0.012 % year

This is a positive growth rate, which means that the population will not be going extinct. So this is not the alternative

b)-2.4% year

r = -0.024

P(t) = P(0)e^{rt}

P(731) = 50,000,000e^{-0.024*731} = 1.20

Population of 1 person, basically extinct. This is the correct answer

c)-0.01% year'

r = -0.001

P(t) = P(0)e^{rt}

P(731) = 50,000,000e^{-0.001*731} = 24,071,366

Population still at 24 million, it does not goes extinct.

d)-0.012% year

r = -0.0012

P(t) = P(0)e^{rt}

P(731) = 50,000,000e^{-0.0012*731} = 20,797,296

Population still at almost 21 million, it does not goes extinct.
