Question 251913: Population of Mexico. In 2006 the population of
Mexico was 107.4 million. If Mexico’s population continues
to grow at an annual rate of 1.43%, then the population
in 2028 will be 107.4(1.0143)= 14 million.
a) Find the predicted population in 2020 to the nearest
tenth of a million people.
b) Use the result of Exercise 129 to determine whether
the United States or Mexico will have the greater
increase in population between 2006 and 2020.

Population of Mexico. In 2006 the population of
Mexico was 107.4 million. If Mexico’s population continues
to grow at an annual rate of 1.43%, then the population
in 2028 will be 107.4*(1+0.0143)^22 = 146.78 million.

a) Find the predicted population in 2020 to the nearest
tenth of a million people.
# = 107.4(1.0143)^14 = 131.019 million
--------------------------------------------
b) Use the result of Exercise 129 to determine whether
the United States or Mexico will have the greater
increase in population between 2006 and 2020.
