Answer:

Q(t) = 4.5(1.013)^{t}

The world population at the beginning of 2019 will be of 7.45 billion people.

Step-by-step explanation:

The world population can be modeled by the following equation.

Q(t) = Q(0)(1+r)^{t}

In which Q(t) is the population in t years after 1980, in billions, Q(0) is the initial population and r is the growth rate.

The world population at the beginning of 1980 was 4.5 billion. Assuming that the population continued to grow at the rate of approximately 1.3%/year.

This means that Q(0) = 4.5, r = 0.013

So

Q(t) = Q(0)(1+r)^{t}

Q(t) = 4.5(1.013)^{t}

What will the world population be at the beginning of 2019 ?

2019 - 1980 = 39. So this is Q(39).

Q(t) = 4.5(1.013)^{t}

Q(39) = 4.5(1.013)^{39} = 7.45

The world population at the beginning of 2019 will be of 7.45 billion people.
