Question 83849: FORMULA
In 1975 the population of the Earth was approximately 4 billion and doubling every
35 years. The formula for the population P in year Y for this doubling rate is
P (in billions) -4 - 2( y-1975)-35
QUESTION
82. Social science. What will the population of the United States be in 2025 if this growth rate continues?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! In 1975 the population of the Earth was approximately 4 billion and doubling every
35 years. The formula for the population P in year Y for this doubling rate is
P(y) = 4* 2^[( y-1975)/35](in billions)
QUESTION
82. Social science. What will the population of the United States be in 2025 if this growth rate continues?
P(2025) = 4*2^[(2025-1975)/35]
P(2025) = 4*2^(50/35)
P(2025) = 4*2.6918 = 10.767... Billion
