Question 245976: The population of a particular country was 29 million in 1980; in 1986, it was 37 million. The exponential growth function describes the population of this country t years after 1980. Use the facts that 6 years after 1980 the population increased by 8 million to find k to three decimal places. Answer by nerdybill(7384) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The population of a particular country was 29 million in 1980; in 1986, it was 37 million. The exponential growth function describes the population of this country t years after 1980. Use the facts that 6 years after 1980 the population increased by 8 million to find k to three decimal places.

The problem gives you:
A = 29+8 = 37
t = 6
