Question 37222
Between April 1,2004, and May 1,2004, the world populationgrew from approximately 6,358,000,000 to 6,364,000,000. What is the growth rate per month given in scientific notation?

6.364E9 = 6.359E9 (1+x)^4
1.00094369 = (1+x)^4
Raise both sides to the (1/4)th power to get:
1.00005895=1+x
x=5.895E-5
