### Exponential Function for U.S. Population Growth

The exponential function \( N = 3.93 \times 1.34^d \) gives the approximate U.S. population, in millions, \( d \) decades after 1790. (The formula is valid only up to 1860.)

#### (a) Yearly Growth Factor
What is the yearly growth factor? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

\[ \text{Yearly Growth Factor:} \]
\[ \boxed{\phantom{Yearly\ Growth\ Factor}} \]

Find a formula that gives the population \( y \) years after 1790.

\[ N = \boxed{\phantom{N\ =\ }} \]

#### (b) Century Growth Factor
What is the century growth factor? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

\[ \text{Century Growth Factor:} \]
\[ \boxed{\phantom{Century\ Growth\ Factor}} \]

Find a formula that gives the U.S. population \( c \) centuries after 1790. (Assume that the original formula is valid over several centuries.)

\[ N = \boxed{\phantom{N\ =\ }} \]
