The population of a region is modelled by the function P(t) = 0.4t^2 + 8.7t + 32 where P(t) is the population in thousands and t is the time in years since the year 1998. What will be the population in 2021?

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?

The population $P$ of a city grows exponentially according to the function $$ P(t)=8500(1.1)^{\prime}, \quad 0 \leq t \leq 8 $$ where $t$ is measured in years. a. Find the population at time $t=0$ and also at time $t=2$ b. When, to the nearest year, will the population reach $15,000 ?$
