A population grows exponentially at an average growth rate of r percent each year and an initial population of N0. Compute the population at times t = 1, t = 2, and t = 5 given 7. N0 = 1000, r = 20%. 8. N0 = 50, r = 5%. 9. N0 = 286,000,000, r = 2.1%. 10. N0 = 50,000,000, r = 1.9%.

Let $P(t)$ be the population (in millions) of a certain city $t$ years after 2015, and suppose that $P(t)$ satisfies the differential equation $$P^{\prime}(t)=.03 P(t), P(0)=4$$ (a) Use the differential equation to determine how fast the population is growing when it reaches 5 million people. (b) Use the differential equation to determine the population size when it is growing at the rate of 400,000 people per year. (c) Find a formula for $P(t).$
