In 2004, the population of Mexico was 106.5 million. If Mexico's population continues to grow at an annual rate of 1.43%, then the population in 2015 will be 106.5 (1.0143)^11 million.

a. find the predicted population in 2015 to the nearest tenth of a million people.
b. With these US results,
1. 330.2 million - predicted US population in 2015 to the nearesth tenth of a million people.
b. 2022 - the estimated year in which the population will reach 350 million people,determine whether US or Mexico will have the greater increase in population between 2004 and 2015.

1a. 106.5*1.0143)^11 = 124.5 million
(for Mexico in 2015)

If the US has 330.2 million in 2015 and 350 million ion 2022, its annual growth rate x for 2015-2022 is given by
(1+ x)^7 = 350/330.2
x = 0.00835 (0.835% growth per year).

The growth rate in the US for 2015-2022, is less than that of Mexico for 2004-2015. You have not provided any data for the US for 2004-2015.

Simplify 3-10+9•7

To find the predicted population in 2015 for Mexico, you can use the formula:

Population in 2015 = Population in 2004 * (1 + growth rate)^number of years

a. For Mexico's predicted population in 2015:
Population in 2004 = 106.5 million
Growth rate = 1.43% or 0.0143
Number of years = 11

Population in 2015 = 106.5 * (1 + 0.0143)^11 million
= 124.5 million (rounded to the nearest tenth)

b. For the predicted US population in 2015:
Population in 2015 = 330.2 million (given)

To find the estimated year in which the US population will reach 350 million, you need to solve for the growth rate:

(1 + growth rate)^7 = 350 / 330.2

Solving this equation, you find that the growth rate is approximately 0.00835 or 0.835%.

So, to find the population in 2022:
Population in 2015 = 330.2 million
Growth rate = 0.835%
Number of years = 7

Population in 2022 = 330.2 * (1 + 0.00835)^7 million
= 350 million (rounded to the nearest tenth)

To determine which country has a greater increase in population between 2004 and 2015, you need data for the US population in 2004.
