A country's population in 1995 was 184 million. in 2002 it was 188 million. estimate the population in 2006 using exponential growth formula. round your answer to the nearest millions?

P = A. e^ (r. t) is the population growth formula, where A is the initial population in a given year, exponent "r" = growth rate and exponent t = time

A ₍₁₉₉₅₎ = 184 Mil. after t = 7 years, P ₍₂₀₀₂₎ = 188 Mil

Let's calculate te growth rate:

P ₍₂₀₀₂₎ = A ₍₁₉₉₅₎. e^rt

188 = 184. e (^7r)

188/184 = e^ (7r)

ln (188/184) = 7. r. lne

0.0215 = 7. r and r = 0.0030 = 0.3%

Population in 2006

P ₍₂₀₀₆₎ = P ₍₂₀₀₂₎. e ⁽⁰.⁰⁰³ˣ⁴

P ₍₂₀₀₆₎ = 188. e⁰.⁰¹² = 190.2 Mil
