22. Suppose that the population (in millions) of Paraguay in 2007 was 6.7 and that the expected
continuous annual rate of change of the population is 0.024. Find the exponential growth model
for the population by letting correspond to 2000. Round your answer to four decimal
places.
23. Suppose that the population (in millions) of a Egypt in 2007 is 80.3 and that expected continuous
annual rate of change of the population is 0.017. The exponential growth model for the population by
letting corresponds to 2000 is . Use the model to predict the population of the
country in 2013. Round your answer to two decimal places.
24. The number of bacteria in a culture is increasing according to the law of exponential growth. After 5
hours there are 175 bacteria in the culture and after 10 hours there are 425 bacteria in the culture.
Answer the following questions, rounding numerical answers to four decimal places.
(i) Find the initial population.
(ii) Write an exponential growth model for the bacteria population. Let t represent time in hours.
(iii) Use the model to determine the number of bacteria after 20 hours.
(iv) After how many hours will the bacteria count be 15,000?
