The population (in millions) of a certain country can be approximated by the
function:
p(x) = (100)1.02^x
where x is the number of years after 2000. which of the following calculations will tell in what year the population can be expected to reach 300 million?

year 2343

Step-by-step explanation:

The population (in millions) of a certain country can be approximated by the

function:

P(x) = (100)*1.02^(x)

where x is the number of years after 2000.

If we want a population of 300 million

300.10^6 = (100)*1.02^(x)

3.10^6 = 1.02^(x)

Which can be solved with a calculator or any computational tool. See attached pictures

The answer is

x = 342.804

2000 + 342.804 = 2342.804 ≈ 2343
