APPLICATION 5. British Columbia's population $P$, in millions, can be modelled by the equation $P = 2.9(1.0257)^t$, where $t$ is the number of years after 1983. a) What is the population of British Columbia in 1983? b) Determine the population of British Columbia in 1986. c) Determine the population of British Columbia in 1980.

The population P (in thousands) of Charlotte, North Carolina from 1980 through 2013 can be modeled by P = 321e^0.0275t where t = 0 corresponds to 1980. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.) (a) What was the population of Charlotte in 2013? 795,476 people (b) In what year will the population of Charlotte reach 1,400,000?

A study done from 1950 through 2000 estimated that the world population increased on average by 1.77% each year. In 1950, the world population was 2,519 million. a. Write a formula for the world population t years after 1950. Use pp to represent the world population. b. Write a formula for the number of years it takes to reach a population of p. c. Use your equation in part (b) to find when the model predicts that the world population is 10 billion.

In Exercises 26 and 27 , use the following information. In 1990 the population of South Carolina was approximately $3,486,000 .$ During the next five years, the population increased by approximately $37,400$ people per year. Write an equation to model the population $P$ of South Carolina in terms of $t$ the number of years since 1990 .
