4. The population of a certain community follows the law of exponential change. If the
present population of the community is 154 000 and 12 years ago was 120 000 when will
be the population tripple? In seven years, what is the population of the community?
The population of a state is known to grow at a rate proportional to the number of people
presently living in the state. If after one decade the population has trebled and if after two
decades the population is 150,000, find the number of people initially living in the state.

- The total world population in 2012 was about 7 billion, and Figure 2.11 shows that at that time the actual world population growth rate was about 1% per year. The figure also shows an anticipated roughly linear decrease in growth rate that extrapolates to zero growth in about the year 2080. Assuming an average growth rate of 0.5% between 2012 and 2080, what would the world population be in 2080? How does this compare with estimates discussed in the text for limits to human population?arrow_forwardSolve the application problem. Show complete details of your solution.
