![**Exponential Population Growth Model**
The model given is:
\[ A = 571.3e^{0.004t} \]
This equation describes the population, \( A \), of a country in millions, \( t \) years after 2003. Use the model to answer the following questions:
(a) **What was the population of the country in 2003?**
The population in 2003 was \[\boxed{\phantom{fill-in-the-answer}}\] million.
(b) **By what percentage is the population of the country increasing each year?**
The population is increasing by \[\boxed{\phantom{fill-in-the-answer}}\] % each year (do not type the percent sign as part of your answer).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fc8310976-3790-47e5-8df0-bc5bf09afc2c%2F999c51bb-730c-4427-a184-b31b708a4021%2Fpprzc6s_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
