The exponential function
N = 3.93 × 1.34d
gives the approximate U.S. population, in millions, d decades after 1790. (The formula is valid only up to 1860.)
(a) What is the yearly growth factor? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Find a formula that gives the population y years after 1790.
N =
(b) What is the century growth factor? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Find a formula that gives the U.S. population c centuries after 1790. (Assume that the original formula is valid over several centuries.)
N =
