You can put this solution on YOUR website! The growth model A = 109.3 e^{0.023 t} models South Carolina's population, A, in millions, t years after 2001.
What is South Carolina's growth rate?
e^(0.023) = 1.02327
growth rate = 0.023267 or 2.3267%
------------------------------------------
How long will it take South Carolina to double its population?
---------
Solve: e^(0.023t) = 2
---
Take 0.023t = 0.6931
---
t = 30.14 years
