An economist predicts that the cost of food will increase by 4% per year for the next several years.
Part A: Use the economist's prediction to write an explicit rule for a geometric sequence that
gives the cost in dollars of a box of cereal in year n that costs $3.20 in year 1.
Part B: What is the fourth term of the sequence, and what does it represent in this situation?

The GDP of South Africa in 1950 was 77,836.88 million dollars. In 2019 it was 748,861 million dollars. What has been the annualized growth rate of GDP for South Africa during the period 1950 to 2019? Use growth compounding to calculate the number and write the answer in percent terms with up to two decimals (e.g., 10.22 for 10.22%, or 2.33 for 2.33%).
What is the equation for this?

The answer depends on what the rate of growth in GDP will be over that 25-year period. A mathematical formula we can use for this calculation is the following: GDP2041 = GDP2016 (1 + g)25 where GDP2041 is the level of GDP in the year 2041, GDP2016 is the level of GDP in the year 2016, and g is the rate of growth in GDP. Assume that GDP in 2016 is $1000 million and assume that the value of g is 0.035 (3.5 percent per year). What will be the value of GDP in 2041? Now suppose that the value of g is 0.040 (4.0 percent per year). What will be the value of GDP in 2041 given this slightly larger rate of growth?

The country's population has been growing at a constant yearly rate of 2.4%. a) Find the country's initial population size, assuming that we are dealing with discrete time. Then, determine the initial population size assuming continuous time. (You must show all your work!) Are the two initial population sizes similar? Why or why not? b) Now, assume that g is actually 5% and that the initial population level was, in fact, 10,000. Using the Rule of 70, graph the population growth on a ratio scale for the time periods, t = 0, 7, 14, and 28. Label your graph.
