The population of a country has a relative growth rate of 3% per year. The government is trying to reduce the growth rate to 2%. The population in 2011 was approximately 110 million. Find the projected population for the year 2037 for the following conditions. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

185,023,041

Explanation:

Given,

The original population of the country, P = 110 million,

Growth rate, r = 2% = 0.02,

Number of years from 2011 to 2037,

Time, t = 26 years,

Hence, the projected population would be,

[tex]A=Pe^{rt}[/tex]

[tex]=110e^{0.02\times 26}[/tex]

[tex]=110 e^{0.52}[/tex]

[tex]=185.023041467\text{ million }[/tex]

[tex]=185023041.467[/tex]

[tex]\approx 185023041[/tex]
