At the beginning of the year 1995, the population of Townsville was 3312. By the beginning of the year 2013, the population had reached 4980. Assume that the population is growing exponentially, answer the following. A) Estimate the population at the beginning of the year 2019. ROUND TO THE NEAREST PERSON. The population at the beginning of 2019 will be about B) How long (from the beginning of 1995) will it take for the population to reach 9000? ROUND TO 2 DECIMAL PLACES. The population will reach 9000 about C) In what year will/did the population reach 9000? The population will (or did) hit 9000 in the year years after the beginning of 1995.
