Mexico City, Mexico, is the world's second largest metropolis and is also one of its fastest-growing cities with a projected growth rate of 3.2% per year. Its population in 1991 was 20,899,000 people. Use the formula P = 20.899e^0.032t to predict its population P in millions with t equal to the number of years after 1991. What is the predicted population to the nearest thousand of Mexico City for the year 2010?

Predicted population of Mexico City in year 2010 = 38386000

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to be used for the population of Mexico,

P = 20.899

Where t = Duration after year 1991

P = Final population

Number of years between 2010 and 1991 = 19 years

Predicted population of Mexico city after 2010 = 20.899

                                                                              = 20.899 × (1.8368)

                                                                              = 38.38633 million

                                                                              = 38.386 million

Therefore, predicted population of Mexico City in year 2010 = 38386000
