Since the population of a certain country grows exponentially, it is projected that 1 year from now it will be P(t) = 30e^(0.05t) million. 1. What is the current population? 2. What will the population be in 20 years?

The population of a region is growing exponentially. There were 40,000,000 people in $2000(t=0)$ and 48,000,000 in $2010 .$ Find an expression for the population at any time $t,$ in years. What population would you predict for the year $2020 ?$ What is the doubling time?

Population Growth in the Twenty-First Century The U.S. population is approximated by the function $$ P(t)=\frac{616.5}{1+4.02 e^{-0.5 t}} $$ where $P(t)$ is measured in millions of people and $t$ is measured in 30 -year intervals, with $t=0$ corresponding to $1930 .$ What is the expected population of the United States in $2020(t=3) ?$

The population of a certain country is growing at $3.2 \%$ per year; that is, if it is $A$ at the beginning of a year, it is $1.032 A$ at the end of that year. Assuming that it is 4.5 million now, what will it be at the end of 1 year? 2 years? 10 years? 100 years?
