The population of the world doubled from 1950 to 1987. Using the exponential model,
?=?0???,P=P0ekt,
where ?t is measured in years, find the annual growth rate ?k for that period.

Solutions

Expert Solution

SOLN :

It is given that the population growth follows the exponential model,

       ....................

where P is the population at time t (in years)

          is the initial population

           k is the growth rate

            t is the time measured in years

So in 1950 let the population be

In 1987 let the population be

Now it is given that , that it the population doubled.

Hence the expression becomes    

                                             then,     

here t = 1987 - 1950 = 37years

                                           then,

A Population Model The population of the world in 2013 was 7.13 billion people and was growing at a rate of 1.1% per year. Assuming that this growth rate continues, the model P(t) = 7.1311.0112^(t-2013) represents the population P (in billions of people) in year t. (a) According to this model, when will the population of the world be 10 billion people? (b) According to this model, when will the population of the world be 12.2 billion people?
