The population of a city increases in size by 15 percent every 8 years. • By what percentage will the population have increased after 21 years? (Give your answer correct to at least two decimal places.) % • By what percentage does the growth rate of the city increase over a 8 year period? (Give your answer correct to at least two decimal places.) % • At what rate would the be population growing when there are one hundred thousand people living in the city? (Give your answer correct to the nearest integer.) people per year. At what rate will the population be growing 7 years later? (Give your answer correct to the nearest integer.) people per year.

City population A city currently has $36,000$ residents and is adding new residents steadily at the rate of 1600 per year. If the proportion of residents that remain after $t$ years is given by $S(t)=1 /(t+1),$ what is the population of the city seven years from now?

Population Growth The population of the world in the year 1650 was about 500 million, and in the year 2010 was 6756 million. Source: U.S. Census Bureau. a. Assuming that the population of the world grows exponentially, find the equation for the population $P(t)$ in millions in the your answer from part a to find the population of the b. Use your answer from part a to find the population of the world in the year to part b reasonable? What does this tell you about how the population of the world grows? c. Is your answer to part b reasonable? What does this tell you about how the population of the world grows?
