29. Exponential Growth In 2000 the population of Jacksonville,
Florida, was 736,000 and was increasing at the rate of 1.49% each
year. At that rate, when will the population be 1 million?
30. Exponential Growth In 2000 the population of Las Vegas,
Nevada, was 478,000 and was increasing at the rate of 6.28%
each year. At that rate, when should the population have
reached 1 million?
