Answer:
197.2 million
Step-by-step explanation:
The appropriate exponential equation for the population is ...
p(t) = 172.0e^(0.019t)
Then we can compute for t=7.2:
p(7.2) = 172.0e^(0.019·7.2) ≈ 172.0·1.146599 ≈ 197.2
7.2 minutes from now, the population will be about 197.2 million.
___
For continuous growth (or continuous compounding), the exponential formula is ...
f(t) = (value at t=0)×e^(rt)
where r is the growth rate in one unit of time, and t is the number of time periods.
Exponential change can be modeled by:
N = N(0) x λⁿ; where λ is the rate of change. It is greater than 1 when there is growth and less than 1 when there is decay. n is the number of time periods passed.
λ is 1 + 0.083 = 1.083
N(0) is the initial value of 750
n is 2050 - 2005 = 45 years
N = 750 x (1.083)⁴⁵
= 27,000 fish
