Question 1132031: The population of Myanmar was 55,622,000 in the year 2018 and is expected to continue its population growth rate of 0.89% per year, assuming annual compounding. Define variables and write a function that models the population. Then use a graphical representation of this function to determine what year the population will reach approximately 65 million.
Show step-by-step how this problem can be solved algebraically, without a graph. Logarithms will be involved!
Suppose you have $14,000 that you can place in a savings account. There are two accounts at your bank. Both have an annual interest rate of 5.6%. Account A compounds interest every 6 months. Account B compounds interest continuously, but has a $200 fee for opening an account.

P=Po(1.0089)^n
65=55.622(1.0089)^n, in millions.
65/55.622=1.0089^n
1.1686=1.0089^n
ln both sides
ln (1.1686)=n log (1.0089)
n=17.58 years or midway through 2036
doesn't say for how long. I'll pick 10 years
first one is 14000(1+0.056/2)^20, for 20 different compoundings. That is $24321.50
second one is 14000e^(0.056*10)=14000e^(.56)=$24509.42. Subtract 200 and it is $23309.42 A is slightly better, especially since the $200 is taken out first.

The population example, with "annual compounding"?

, and then you expect n to be only whole number values.

--------need to choose 18

Year number would be year 2036.
