As of 2017, it is estimated that the world population is
about 7.6 billion.

World leaders, sociologists, and anthropologists are

interested in studying population, including its growth
Mathematics can be used to model population growth.
Recall the formula for exponential growth.
𝑨 = 𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒕
where :
A = size of population after it grows
P = initial number of people
r = rate of growth
t = time
e = Euler’s constant with an approximation value of 2.718

t = 8 years
