Question
Subject: DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS Solve the Application of Differential Equations The population in the United States of America was 2460 Million in 1950 and 3040 Million in 1960 to model the population of the world in the second half of the 20th Century. (Assume that the growth rate is proportional to the population size.) What is the relative growth rate k? Use the model to estimate the world population in 1993 and to predict in this year 2020.
