Question 210742: Solve the problem.
In 1998, the population of a given country was 37 million, and the exponential growth rate was 5% per year. Find the exponential growth function.
A)P(t) = 370.05t , where P(t) is in millions and t is the number of years after 1998.

B)P(t) = 37e0.05t, where P(t) is in millions and t is the number of years after 1998.
C)P(t) = 37e5t, where P(t) is in millions and t is the number of years after 1998.
D)P(t) = 37e0.05, where P(t) is in millions and t is the number of years after 1998
