NET POPULATION GROWTH.

Question

NET POPULATION GROWTH. It is projected that t years from now the population of a certain country will be changing at the rate of e^(0.02 t) million per year. If the current population is 50 million, what will be the population 10 years from now?

Answer 1

The population growth rate equation is:

N = N(0) x e^(rt)

You know N(0) = 50 million

t=10

So, N = 50million x e^(0.02 x 10) = 61,070,138 (rounded off because you can't have a 0.91 individual)
