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%, the
popluation in 2028 will be 107.4(1.0143) to the 14th power million.
a) find the population in 2020 to the nearest tenth of a million people.
I don't understand why the book says that in 2028 the exponent would be in the 14th power when its 22 years from 2006. On a sheet of paper, I wrote out 107.4 + 1.53582+107.4+1.53582...to the respective 20 years (which is 2006-2020) I need to figure out the correct expression. I can work out the expression once I figure out how to set the problem up. I thank you for any help you can provide. Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You're right. It is a typo. It looks like the book mixed up the years 2020 and 2028 since the population in 2020 is
