The populations of two countries are given for January 1, 2000, and for January 1, 2010.
a. Write a function of the form
b. Use the models from part (a) to approximate the population on January 1, 2020 for each country. Round to the nearest hundred thousand.
c. Israel had fewer people than Switzerland in the year 2000, yet from the result of part (b), Israel would have more people in the year 2020? Why?
d. Use the models from part (a) to predict the year during which each population would reach 10 million if this trend continues.

- Kpopulation is measured in thousands of people. A low-projection scenario for the population of Smalltown, USA for 1995 and 2150 is given by the function y=-0.37x 37.83x 5840 68, where x is the number of years after 1990 and the a. Find the input and output at the vertex of the graph of this model b. Interpret the values from part a c. For what years after 1995 does this model predict that the population will increase? a. The input at the vertex is x 51.12 and output at the vertex is y 6807.65 (Round to the nearest hundredth as needed.) b.

Solve the following: #1: A city has been losing population. In the 1990 census it decreased by 15% from the 1980 census which showed that the city had 1.2 million people. If the percent of decline is expected to continue predict the population, create a table of values for the population in 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2020. What function would generate this table? Year 1990 2000 2010 2020 Population Pop = %3D #2: Another city showed the exact opposite, its population was increasing by 15%. If in 1980 it also had 1.2 million people create a table of values for the population in 1990,2000, 2010 and 2020. What function would generate this table?arrow_forward
