The Population of a Region for 2000 Is 282 $y = C e ^ { k t }$

question 151

Multiple Choice

The population of a region for 2000 is 282.2 (in millions) . The predicted population (in millions) for the region in the year 2020 is 355.5. Calculate the constants C (to one decimal place) and k (to four decimal places) to obtain the experimental growth model $y = C e ^ { k t }$ for the population. (Let $t = 0$ correspond to the year 2000.) What does the model predict the population will be in 2030? Round your answer to one decimal place.

• A)399.0 million
• B)282.2 million
• C)103.8 million
• D)392.2 million
