Question

Pre-Calculus question:

Answer 1

You already have figured the main idea. In this case, the population is growing 1.9% a year. This word can be translated into: multiplied by 101.9% (100+1.9%). That means the P0 is 6 bill, the base is 101.9%(or 1.019) and the time is 50 years. The calculation would be:
P(t)=P₀a^t
P(t)=6 billion * 101.9%^50= 6 billion * 2.56276= 15.38 billion
