In this activity, you will study and solve a given case problem below.
Step 1. Review
Review the learning resources for this lesson before studying the case problem.
Step 2. Analyze
Analyze the case problem below.
According to a world almanac, the population of the world in 1986 was estimated to be 4.7 billion people. Assuming that the world’s population is growing at the rate of 1.8% per year, Using the exponential growth model,
A= A0e0.018t
Step 3. Respondwhere
is the population at year zero, which in this case, is 1986; A is the population (in billions) t years after 1986, and e = 2.718, estimate the world population in the year 2022.
Respond to the case problem by showing the steps you take to solve this problem, and the theorems, properties, or laws you used to enable you to move from step to step in the solution.
