Did you even consider if your answer makes any sense ??
6412 million is 6.4 billion.
Do you really think that the earth's population increased at a rate of 6.4 billion per year if the entire population is 6.3 billion??
According to your formula
dP/dt = .011(6.342)e^.011t
so when t=1 (from 2004 to 2005)
dP/dt = 70.53 million/year
According to the US Census, the world population P, in billions, is approximately P=6.342e^(0.011t); where t is in years since January 1, 2004. At what rate was the world's population increasing on January 1, 2005? Give your answer in millions per year.
Is the answer 6412 millions per year?
