The population of South Carolina can be approximated using the formula y = 1.264e0.011lx, where x is the number of years since 1900 and y is the population in millions. Use this equation to estimate the year that the population will reach 5.0 x 106 people. (Recall 1,000,000 is 1 million, so something like 5 x 106 is 5 million.) Be sure to enter in the actual year, not just the number of years since 1900.
