Question

The world population at the beginning of 1990 was 5.3 billion. Assume that the population continues to grow at the rate of approximately 2.7%/year and find the function Q(t) that expresses the world population (in billions) as a function of time t (in years), with t = 0 corresponding to the beginning of 1990. Using this function, complete the following table of values. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)

Explanation / Answer

At the beginning of 1990 was 5.3 billion rate 2.7/year .

S.NO Time Year Population

1 0 1990 5.3 billion

2 5 yr 1990-1995 (2.7/100)*(5.3*10^9)*5 = .71*10^9

{5.3*10^9 +.71*10^9} = 6.016*10^9

3 5yr 1995-2000 (2.7/100)*(6.016*10^9)*5 = .812*10^9

{ .812*10^9 + 6.016*10^9 } = 6.818*10^9

4 5yr 2000-2005 (2.7/100)*(6.818*10^9)*5 = .92*10^9

{ .812*10^9 + 6.818*10^9 } = 7.74*10^9

5 5yr 2005-2010      (2.7/100)*(7.74*10^9)*5 = 1.04*10^9

{1.04*10^9 + 7.74*10^9} = 8.78*10^9

6 5yr 2010-2015 (2.7/100)*(8.78*10^9)*5 = 1.18*10^9

  {1.18*10^9 + 8.78*10^9} = 9.96*10^9

7 5yr 2015-2020 (2.7/100)*(9.96*10^9)*5 = 1.34*10^9

  {1.34*10^9 + 9.96*10^9} = 11.30*10^9

8 5yr 2020-2025       (2.7/100)*(11.30*10^9)*5 = 1.52*10^9

    {1.52*10^9 + 11.30*10^9} = 12.82*10^9
