Population rate can be represented using exponential functions
The predicted population for 2050 is 1496280
The initial population is given as;
a = 3290000
The rate of decline is given as:
r = 2%
So, the population function is:
[tex]p = a*(1 - r)^t[/tex]
This gives
[tex]p = 3290000*(1 - 2\%)^t[/tex]
2050 is 39 years after 2011.
So, we have:
[tex]p = 3290000*(1 - 2\%)^{39\\[/tex]
Evaluate
[tex]p = 1496280[/tex]
Hence, the predicted population for 2050 is 1496280
