As of October 2009, the world's population is estimated to be 6.8 billion people and the population growth rate is about 0.07 billion people per year. Because the availability of resources is an issue as the population grows, scientists are attempting to compute the maximum population the Earth can support. Assuming the growth rate remains accurate, b which year would the world population hit 8.5 billion people? Use an algebraic model to compute the answer. The world population would hit 8.5 billion people by the year.. (Type a whole number. Round up to the nearest year.)

If the world's population increased exponentially from 6.081 billion in 2000 to 7.504 billion in 2018 and continued to increase at the same percentage rate from 2018 to 2021, calculate to 2 decimal places what the world's population would have been in 2021.
Can someone help me create a linear, exponential, or polynomial equation that would model the progression of swine flu please. I have done some research and found that in 2009 when the pandemic started there were 60.8 million cases, which included 274,304 hospitalizations and 12,469 deaths in the US alone. Worldwide deaths were around 151,700-575,400 and 80% of these deaths were people younger than 65 years old
China had a population in 2008 of about 1.14 billion people. The populaton is growing by about 1.34% each year. If this trend continues, when will China's population reach 1.2 billion.
Section 2.2 (81) In the early stages of the deadly SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) epidemic in 2003, the number of cases was increasing by about 18% each day. On March 17, 2003 (the first day for which statistics were reported by the World Health Organization), there were 167 cases. Find an exponential model that predicts the number of cases "t" days after March 17, 2003, and use it to estimate the number of cases on March 31, 2003. (The actual reported number of cases was .)
