Question

in 1990 Jamaica's population of 2,466,000 was expected to grow exponentially by 1.1% each year. what is the range of the exponential function that decribes this growth​

Answer 1

Answer:

Initial population is 2,466,000 ( p0 )

Growth is 1.1% each year ( r=1.1

p(t)=p0(1+r)t

After 30 years, the population of Jamaica should be 3.42 million by that calculation, but it is only 2.95 million, so apparently that growth rate was a little high, or wasn’t sustained.
