Question 1048547: The population bomb. The population of the earth is growing continuously with an
annual rate of about 1.6%. if the present population is 6 billion, then the function
y = 6e0.016x , gives the population in billions x years from now. Graph this function for
0 ≤ x ≤ 200.
What will the population be in 100 years and in 200 years?
6e is actually to the power 0.016x
