Acountry's population in 1990 was 134 million. in 2000 it was 139 million. estimate the population in 2014 using the exponential growth formula. round your answer to the nearest millon.

Answer

P = 147 million

Step by step explanation

P = Po r^t (1)

Po initial population, r = rate, t = number of years

Here P = 139, Po = 134, t = 10.

Now plug in these values into the formula and find the rate r.

139 = 134r^10

r^10 = 139/134

r = (139/134)^1/10

Now we got r, now plug in the equation (1)

Let's find the population in the year 2014, here t = 24

P = 134 (139/134)^(24/10)

P = 134(139/134)^(2.4)

P = 134*1.1

P = 147.4

P = 147 million

The country's population in 2014 is 147 million (estimation).

Thank you.

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
