Question

In 2009, the population of Mexico was about 111.2 million, and the exponential growth rate was 1.13% per year.a) Estimate the population in 2016. b) After how long will the population be 150 million?

Answer 1

I would try to identify what pieces of the population growth formula (I'm assuming A(end)=A(start)e^rt) I had. It looks to me like you have a start population (111.2) and a growth rate (1.13%) and a time (2016-2009). Should just be able to plug that stuff into a calculator I think (for part "a").
