    The population of fruit flies is increasing exponentially. After 2 days there are 100 flies; after 4 days there are 300 flies. The population (in thousands) of las vegas, nv, can be modeled by P = 258e year and t = 0 corresponds to 1990. In 2000, the population was 478,000.

    Ex.

    1 The exponential growth model for world population (in millions) from the years 1992 to 2000 is represented by P = 5303e . (t = 2 represents 1992) What year corresponds to a population of 6.5 billion?

    Ex. 2 The population of fruit flies is increasing exponentially. After 2 days there are 100 flies; after 4 days there are 300 flies. How many flies will there be after 8 days?

    Ex. 3 The population (in thousands) of Las Vegas, NV, can be modeled by P = 258e year and t = 0 corresponds to 1990. In 2000, the population was 478,000. a. Find the value of k for the model. Round to 4 decimal places. b. Use your model to predict the population in 2010.
