Total US Population 300 (Milions) 250 200 100 s0 Over long periods of time, population growth will not usually follow a linear pattern. However, in the graph above, it looks like population growth in the US for the years 1950 to 2010 was very close to linear even though the overall pattern since 1790 does not appear to be linear. Note that in the short term, a pattern may seem to be linear even when it is not linear long term. For questions 1-4, assume the relationships you will examine are linear (short term) while questions 5-7 will deal with exponential relationships. 1) Estimates for the population of the United States in various years are readily available online. Find a source you believe to be reliable (the data should correspond pretty closely with the graph above). Complete the table below, be sure to cite your source. Then, find the average rate of change in the US population per year from 2000 to 2020. Give your answer as 'millions of people per year'. Show work!
