Question 635458: The population of Nigeria at the beginning of 2008 was about
140 million and growing exponentially at a rate of about 2.4% per year.

1. What function P(t) will give the population of Nigeria in millions in
year 2008 + t, assuming that the growth rate stays at 2.4% per year?

The population of Nigeria at the beginning of 2008 was about
140 million and growing exponentially at a rate of about 2.4% per year.

1. What function P(t) will give the population of Nigeria in millions in
year 2008 + t, assuming that the growth rate stays at 2.4% per year?
----------------------
P(t) = 140*1.024^t, t in years since 2008, P in millions
