the census bureau estimates that the United States population will grow by 296 million people from 2000 to 2100 Given that the United States population in 2000 was 281 million, find the census bureau's estimate of the United States population in 2100
----
You are told the slope is 296/(100) = 2.96 million per year
You are told the intercept is 281
---
Equation:
E(x) = 2.96x+281 where x is number of years after 2000
---
Find the census bureau's estimate of the United States population in 2100
E(100) = 2.96*100+281 = 577 million
