When solving for k, round to four
decimal places.
A country's population in 1991 was 231 million.
In 1999 it was 233 million. Estimate
the population in 2003 using the exponential
growth formula. Round your answer to the
nearest million,
P= Aekt

Kunduz · Accepted Answer

since the population growth
is always represented by
exponential function
P(+
(Here A= P.)
to time (years)
P(t) = Poeht
ha >
growth constant
Po= initial population
For year
1991-1999
81
233 = Po e Ble- 2318
233 = 231 e
= e
= 231 08h
