The population of Cuba is 1.3 million. The country's population is expected to grow at a rate of 4% each year.The population of Cuba will be million in 10 years.
Question
Answer:
The population growth will be modeled using exponential growth:f(x)=a(b)^t
where:
a=initial value
b=growth rate
thus plugging in the values we get:
f(x)=1.3(1.04)^t
thus the population after 10 years will be:
f(x)=1.3(1.04)^10
f(x)=1.9243
thus the population in 10 years will be:
1.9243 million
