  1. Answer:

    Popul@1994 = 52,000,000

    P@2000 = 55,000,000

    P@2003 = ?

    r = ?

    Equation: P = Po * e^(rt)

    —–

    Solve r:

    P/Po = e^(rt)

    ln(P/Po) = rt

    r = ln(P/Po)/t

    r = ln(P@2000/P@1994)/(2000-1994)

    r = ln(55M/52M)/6

    r = 0.009348

    —-

    Solve for P@2003

    t = 2003 – 1994 = 9

    P@2003 = P@1994 * e^(rt)

    P@2003 = 52M * e^(0.009348*9)

    P@2003 = 56,564,292.9

    approximately 57M.
