You can put this solution on YOUR website! Between April 1,2004, and May 1,2004, the world populationgrew from approximately 6,358,000,000 to 6,364,000,000. What is the growth rate per month given in scientific notation?
6.364E9 = 6.359E9 (1+x)^4
1.00094369 = (1+x)^4
Raise both sides to the (1/4)th power to get:
1.00005895=1+x
x=5.895E-5
