using a population for 800 AD (5) and 2015 (7.3) billion?

2. [A numerical answer] How large would the world population be today if annual growth rates had always been.0005 larger for the last 10,000 years? Hint 1: The rules of exponents tell us e(R+d)*t-eRt « edit Hint 2: To calculate e 10000-05 v any other tool. You don't have to use R. , you can use a calculator or Hint 3: You should get a population roughly 150 times as large as today.

Explanation / Answer

We will use the formula of compound growth A = Pert

P is the population at the beginning , r = 0.0005, t =10000, rt =0.0005*10000 = 5

A = Pe5

e5 = 148.41

A= (148.41)P. The population will be 148.41 times the population at the beginning
