Given the following question:
5.53 million in 2012
Growth rate is 3.01%
Part A and B:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{p\times n}{100} \\ \frac{3.01\times5530000}{100}=16645300\div100=166453 \\ GR=166453\text{ per year} \\ P(t)=5530000+166453t \\ t=years \\ t=6 \\ P(t)=5530000+166453(6) \\ 166453\times6=998718 \\ 5530000+998718=6528718 \\ P(6)=6528718 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Part C:
[tex]\begin{gathered} P(6)=6528718 \\ 6528718+998718=7527436 \\ P(t)=7527436+166453(3) \\ 166453(3)=499359 \\ 499359+7527436=8026795 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Starting from the initial amount of 553000 it would take a little under 15 years for the population to reach 8 million people. I wouldn't take this as the actual answer because it may be asking for the exact amount of time, only take it as the real answer if it's asking for a rough estimate or such.
Part D:
I am unable to answer.
