Answer:
A.) 1508 ; 1870
B.) 2083
C.) 3972
Step-by-step explanation:
General form of an exponential model :
A = A0e^rt
A0 = initial population
A = final population
r = growth rate ; t = time
1)
Using the year 1750 and 1800
Time, t = 1800 - 1750 = 50 years
Initial population = 790
Final population = 980
Let's obtain the growth rate :
980 = 790e^50r
980/790 = e^50r
Take the In of both sides
In(980/790) = 50r
0.2155196 = 50r
r = 0.2155196/50
r = 0.0043103
Using this rate, let predict the population in 1900
t = 1900 - 1750 = 150 years
A = 790e^150*0.0043103
A = 790e^0.6465588
A = 1508.0788 ; 1508 million people
In 1950;
t = 1950 - 1750 = 200
A = 790e^200*0.0043103
A = 790e^0.86206
A = 1870.7467 ; 1870 million people
2.)
Exponential model. For 1800 and 1850
Initial, 1800 = 980
Final, 1850 = 1260
t = 1850 - 1800 = 50
Using the exponential format ; we can obtain the rate :
1260 = 980e^50r
1260/980 = e^50r
Take the In of both sides
In(1260/980) = 50r
0.2513144 = 50r
r = 0.2513144/50
r = 0.0050262
Using the model ; The predicted population in 1950;
In 1950;
t = 1950 - 1800 = 150
A = 980e^150*0.0050262
A = 980e^0.7539432
A = 2082.8571 ; 2083 million people
3.)
1900 1650
1950 2560
t = 1900 - 1950 = 50
Using the exponential format ; we can obtain the rate :
2560 = 1650e^50r
2560/1650 = e^50r
Take the In of both sides
In(2560/1650) = 50r
0.4392319 = 50r
r = 0.4392319/50
r = 0.0087846
Using the model ; The predicted population in 2000;
In 2000;
t = 2000 - 1900 = 100
A = 1650e^100*0.0087846
A = 1650e^0.8784639
A = 3971.8787 ; 3972 million people
