- The formula for an increasing population is given by p(t)=P0ert where P0 is the initial population and r0. Derive a general formula for the time t it takes for the population to increase by a factor of M .arrow_forwardThe population Pinmillions of Texas from 2001 through 2014 can be approximated by the model P=20.913e0.0184t, where t represents the year, with t=1 corresponding to 2001. According to this model, when will the population reach 32 million?arrow_forward
