The graph below shows data for population trends in Mexico from 1890 to 2016 , with projected trends for $2016-2050$. How has Mexico's rate of population growth changed over this time period? How is it expected to change by midcentury? Describe Mexico's projected age structure in $2050 .$ CAN'T COPY THE GRAPH

Step 1
In the late 19th century, Mexico had a high birth rate offset by a high death rate. However, from 1910 to 1925, the death rate significantly fell due to improvements in sanitation and healthcare. The birth rate remained high until 1975, after which it started to Show more…

At the beginning of 1990,20.2 million people lived in the metropolitan area of Mexico City, and the population was growing exponentially. The 1995 population was 23 million. (Part of the growth is due to immigration.) If this trend continues, how large will the population be in the year 2010?
Applications of the Exponential and Natural
Exponential Growth and Decay
The population of Mexico can be modeled by the function P(t) = 147(1 + 0.0151)t, where P(t) measures the population in millions and t represents the number of years since 2000. Using this model, what was the population of Mexico in 2011? Predict the population of Mexico in 2020. If this growth rate continues, in what year will the population of Mexico reach 2 billion people?

Minority Population Based on the U.S. Census population projections for 2000 to 2050 , the projected Hispanic population (in millions) can be modeled by the exponential function $H(t)=37.79(1.021)^{t}$ where $t=0$ corresponds to 2000 and $0 \leq t \leq 50 .$ Source: U.S. Census Bureau. (a) Use $H$ to estimate the average rate of change in the Hispanic population from 2000 to $2015 .$ (b) Estimate the instantaneous rate of change in the Hispanicpopulation in $2015 .$
