6-34.
Calculate this value with the two different data sets. Are they nearly the same?
P(t) = P0(1 − rate)t
Let the year 1998 correspond with t = 0.
Evaluate P(22).
Answers will vary depending on the rate estimate. ≈ 34,336,000(rate)
Approximate growth in population = P0(growth factor).
Find growth factor in part (a).
