Answer:its 169 million on plato. i just took the test and got it right
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the exponential growth formula, the population in 2017 is 171 million.
The exponential growth of population can be defined as:
P = A[tex]e^{kt}[/tex]
Where, P = population after 't' years.
A = Current population
k = rate of growth of population
t = time period
Here, population in 1998 was 153 million and in 1991 was 147 million.
Therefore, 153 = 147 × [tex]e^{7k}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]e^{7k}[/tex] = (153 / 147)
⇒ k = [ln (153 / 147)] / 7
⇒ k = 0.04 / 7
⇒ k = 0.00571
Now, the time period in between 1991 and 2017 is (t)
= (2017 - 1991) years
= 26 years
The rate of growth of population (k) = 0.00571
Now, k × t = 0.00571 × 26 = 0.149
Therefore, population of the country in 2017 is (P)
= 147 × [tex]e^{0.149}[/tex]
= 170.62
≈ 171
