in 1999, the male population of the united states was about 133 million, and the female population was about 139 million, assuming a malthusian growth model with a 1.4% annual growth rate, how many more females than males will there be in 16 years?
-------
A(t) = P*(1.014)^t
-------
Male population in 16 years:
M(t) = 133mil*(1.014)^16
F(t) = 139mil*(1.014)^16
------------
Ans:: (139mil-133mil)*1.014^16 = 6mil*1.2491289 = 7,494,773
