The population of a town is growing exponentially and can be modeled by the equation f (t) = 42 · e0.015€). The population is measured in thousands, and time is measured in years since 1950. 1. What was the population of the town in 1950? 2. What is the approximate percent increase in the population each year? 3. According to this model, approximately what was the population in 1960?

In 2019, the US population was 328.2 million. In 2000, the US population was 282.2 million. Find the exponential function that gives the population of the US in millions as a function of years since 2000. Using the exponential function found above, what was the average growth rate over the last 19 years (remember that b=1+r). You should round b to 6 decimal places. r should be written as a percent with three decimal places. For the equation P= abt a= b= r= (average growth rate)
