Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

For this particular organism population the growth rate is so that is doubled every 20 years. Using the starting population of 9 billion individuals by year 2000 you have to calculate the expected population values every 20 years.

All you have to do is multiply the original population by 2 to obtain the next value.

Year 2000:

Population: 9*10⁹ or 9 000 000 000 x 2= 18 000 000 000

To express 18 billion in  scientific notation you have to add a "comma" after the first digit and then count the number of digits behind it:

1, 8 000 000 000 there are 10 digits behind the first digit. This notation  summarizes the number in base 10 exponents so 18 billion in scientific notation is:

1.8 * ten "exponent the number of digits behind the comma"

1,8*10¹⁰So the population for year 2020 will be 1,8*10¹⁰

Next for year 2040 you have to multiply the population of year 2020 by 2

1,8*10¹⁰ x 2= 3,6*10¹⁰

And so on:

2060: 3,6*10¹⁰ x 2)= 7.2*10¹⁰

2080: 7.2*10¹⁰ x2= 1.44*10¹¹

2100: 1.44*10¹¹ x2= 2.88*10¹¹

2120: 2.88*10¹¹x2= 5.76*10¹¹

2140: 5.76*10¹¹x2= 1.152*10¹²

2160: 1.152*10¹²x2= 2.304*10¹²

2180: 2.304*10¹²x2= 4.608*10¹²

2200: 4.608*10¹² x2= 9.216*10¹²

2220: 9.216*10¹²x2= 1.8432*10¹³

2240: 1.8432*10¹³x2= 3.6864*10¹³

2260: 3.6864*10¹³x2= 7.3728*10¹³

2280: 7.3728*10¹³x2= 1.47456*10¹⁴

2300: 1.47456*10¹⁴x2= 2.94912*10¹⁴

2320: 2.94912*10¹⁴x2= 5.89824*10¹⁴

2340: 5.89824*10¹⁴x2= 1.179648*10¹⁵

2360: 1.179648*10¹⁵x2= 2.359296*10¹⁵

2380: 2.359296*10¹⁵x2= 4.718592*10¹⁵

2400: 4.718592*10¹⁵x2= 9.437184*10¹⁵

So for year 2400 the expected population will be 9.437184*10¹⁵, writen in common notation that is:

9 437 184 000 000 000 individuals

I hope this helps!
