A city's population is currently 365,000. If the population doubles every 24 years, what will the population be 96 years from now?
2 = e^24r
ln2 = 24r
r = ln2/24 = about .029
A = 356,000e^.029t
A = 356,000e^.029(96)
A = 356,000e^2.7726
A = 356,000(16)
A= 5,696,000 in 96 years
in 24 years the population = 2(356,000) = 712,000
in another 24 years = 48 years, the population = 2(712,000) = 1,424,000
in another 24 yers = 72 years, the population = 2(1424000) = 2,848,000
in another 24 years = 96 years the population = 2(2848000) = 5,696,000
