For this case we have a function of the form:
 y = A (b) ^ x
 Where,
 A: initial amount
 b: growth rate
 x: time
 We then have the following function:
 P (x) = 3,113 (1.2795) ^ x
 Where,
 The number 3.113 represents:
 (b) The population, in millions, of California in 1990
 The number 1.2795 represents:
 (c) The rate of the population of California is increasing each year.
