After its fastest rate of growth ever during the 1980s and 1990s, the rate of growth of world population is expected to slow dramatically in the twenty-first century. The function G(t) = 1.58e-.0213t gives the projected annual average percent population growth per decade in the t th decade, with t = 1 corresponding to 2000.
