The table gives estimates of the world population, in millions, from 1750 to 2000. (Round your answers to the nearest million.)

Answer:

A.) 1508; 1870

B.) 2083

C.) 3972

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for an exponential model is:

A = A0e^rt

A0 represents the initial population

A indicates the final population

r is the growth rate; t denotes time

1)

Considering the years 1750 and 1800

Time interval, t = 1800 - 1750 = 50 years

Starting population = 790

End population = 980

To find the growth rate:

980 = 790e^50r

980/790 = e^50r

Applying the natural logarithm to both sides

In(980/790) = 50r

0.2155196 = 50r

r = 0.2155196/50

r = 0.0043103

Using this growth rate, let's forecast the population for 1900

t = 1900 - 1750 = 150 years

A = 790e^150*0.0043103

A = 790e^0.6465588

A = 1508.0788; approximately 1508 million people

In 1950:

t = 1950 - 1750 = 200

A = 790e^200*0.0043103

A = 790e^0.86206

A = 1870.7467; around 1870 million people

2.)

Exponential model from 1800 to 1850

Initial population in 1800 = 980

Final population in 1850 = 1260

t = 1850 - 1800 = 50

Utilizing the exponential equation, we find the growth rate:

1260 = 980e^50r

1260/980 = e^50r

Taking the natural logarithm of both sides

In(1260/980) = 50r

0.2513144 = 50r

r = 0.2513144/50

r = 0.0050262

Utilizing this model, the anticipated population in 1950:

In 1950:

t = 1950 - 1800 = 150

A = 980e^150*0.0050262

A = 980e^0.7539432

A = 2082.8571; approximately 2083 million people

3.)

For 1900: 1650,

For 1950: 2560

t = 1900 - 1950 = 50

Utilizing the exponential formula, we derive the growth rate:

2560 = 1650e^50r

2560/1650 = e^50r

Logarithm both sides

In(2560/1650) = 50r

0.4392319 = 50r

r = 0.4392319/50

r = 0.0087846

Using this model, the projected population for 2000:

In 2000:

t = 2000 - 1900 = 100

A = 1650e^100*0.0087846

A = 1650e^0.8784639

A = 3971.8787; approximately 3972 million people
