Question 1203014
1600 people died of aids in 1983.
growth factor per year = 2.1.
how many would have died in 2005 if the growth rate was unchecked?
2005 - 1983 = 22 years.
1600 * 2.1 ^ 22 = 1.963109238 * 10^10.
that's the same as 19.63109238 * 10^9.
since 10^9 equals 1 billion, that says that approximately 19.63 billion people would have died of aids in 2005.
