You can
put this solution on YOUR website!I'm not sure what year you're going for, so I'm going to assume that you want to know the population in the year 2028.
You're off to a good start, the population equation is
where t=0 is the year 2006 and P is the population in millions.
Since 2028-2006=22, this means that 22 years have passed since 2006 to get to 2028. So when the year is 2028, the value of "t" is
Start with the given equation.
Plug in
Raise 1.0143 to the 22nd power to get 1.367
Multiply
So in the year 2028, the population will be roughly 146.816 million people.

If you're looking for the population in the year 2020, then...
Take note that 2020-2006=14. So
in the year 2020.
Start with the given equation.
Plug in
Raise 1.0143 to the 14th power to get 1.220
Multiply
So in the year 2020, the population will be roughly 131.028 million people.
If you round that value to the nearest tenth of a million, you get 131.0 million people.
