10. The population of India is 1.353 billion, and expected to grow at the rate of one percent annually for the forseeable future. Assuming population continues to grow at the same percent
rate, how long until the population reaches 2 billion people? Give your answer to the nearest
year. (4 minutes)

39 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Adapt the formula A = P(1 + r)^n, letting P represent the original population, r the growth rate as a decimal fraction, and n the number of years.

Solve this for n:

2 billion = (1.353 billion)(1 + 0.01)^n

After simplification, we have:

   2

= 1.01^n

1.353

Taking the log of both sides, we get:

log 2 - log 1.353 = n log 1.01, or

log 2 - log 1.353      0.1697

= = 39 years (rounded off from 39.28)

      log 1.01              0.0043

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.
