Question

1. (0 points) in 1965, latvia had a population of 2.27 million, and an exponential growth rate of 1.12%.

(a) find the exponential growth function.

ans:

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the initial population

$$P_0 = 2.27$$

Step2: Convert growth rate to decimal

$$k = 1.12\% = 0.0112$$

Step3: Write the exponential growth function

$$P(t) = P_0 e^{kt} = 2.27e^{0.0112t}$$

Answer:

\(P(t) = 2.27e^{0.0112t}\)
