The population of a certain country has grown at a rate proportional to the number of people in the country.at present,the country has 80 million inhabitants. Ten year ago it had 70 million assuming that this trend continues. Find an expression for the approximate number of people living in the country at any time(taking t=0 to be the present time )And the approximate number of people who will inhabit the country at the end of the next ten year period?
The population of a certain community follows the law of exponential change. If the present population of the community is 144,000 and ten (10) years ago was 100,000 when will the population double? In ten (10) years what will be the population of the community?
According to the statistics authority, the total population in the Philippines last 2015 reached a 100.51 million with the population growth rate of 1.36%. Determine the population of the Philippines in the year 2025 if the same growth rate will be used using the Malthusian Model.

- The population of a state is 25,600 in the year 1800 and 218,900 in the year 1900. Calculate the expected population in the year 2000 if (a) the growth is linear and (b) the growth is exponential.arrow_forwardThe 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.
