Question 633582: I am working on college algebra and have come to a stop. Question is : in 2005 population is 72.6 million. Projected growth rate k is .0165 and I need to find the projected 2037 population. A=A0e^kt so I have A=72.6e^.0165(32) for the 32 years difference of 2005 to 2037. But it says I need to use a calculator to find the answer. The answer it gave was 123.1 and I have no idea how it did that.

I got that answer with my calculator.
+.0165%2A32+=+.528+
+e%5E.528+=+1.69554+
+72.6%2A1.69554++=+123.09605+ million
