Question 1194834
the annual birth rate is 2.3%.
the annual death rate is 1.9%.
the net growth rate per year is (2.3 - 1.9) = .4%.
the net growth factor per year is 1.004


the exponential growth model is y = a * b ^ x
a is the base population = 350
b is the annual growth factor = 1.004
x is the number of years.
the exponential growth formula becomes y = 350 * 1.004 ^ x
