Assuming a current world population of 7.75 billion people and an annual growth rate of 1.9% per year, what will the world population be in a) 10 years and b) 50 years? Please show work.
Added by Miriam V.
Step 1
The formula to calculate future population based on current population and a constant growth rate is: \[ P = P_0 \times (1 + r)^t \] where: - \( P \) is the future population, - \( P_0 \) is the current population, - \( r \) is the annual growth rate (expressed as Show more…
