Constructing Linear and Exponential Functions - Application In 1990, the estimated population of Pottsville, USA was 34,107 people. By 1991, the population had grown to 36,085 people. Assuming that the growth is linear, construct a linear function L(t) that expresses the population of Pottsville t years since 1990 and use it to predict the population in the year 1998. L(t) = %3D Round to the nearest thousandth as needed. If this growth rate continues, the population in the year 1998 will be approximately people. Round your answer to the nearest person. Assuming that the growth is exponential, construct an exponential function E(t) that expresses the population of Pottsville t years since 1990 and use it to predict the population in the year 1998. E(t) = Round to the nearest thousandth as needed. If this growth rate continues, the population in the year 1998 will be approximately people. Round your answer to the nearest person.

Growth Rate Versus Weight Ecologists have studied how a populations intrinsic exponential growth rate r is related to the body weight W for herbivorous mammals. In table 5.2, W is the adult weight measured in pounds, and r is growth rate per year.

Population The table shows the mid-year populations (in millions) of five countries in 2015 and the projected populations (in millions) for the year 2025. (a) Find the exponential growth or decay model y=aebt or y=aebt for the population of each country by letting t=15 correspond to 2015. Use the model to predict the population of each country in 2035. (b) You can see that the populations of the United States and the United Kingdom are growing at different rates. What constant in the equation y=aebt gives the growth rate? Discuss the relationship between the different growth rates and the magnitude of the constant.
