control Which of the following best characterizes the model for
- 00:22
this country's total population over time Well let's think about
- 00:29
this This country was unpopular to start so there were
- 00:33
zero people there Then the population increase of five million
- 00:36
in nineteen ninety like everyone migrated there gave the country
- 00:40
five million more people The next year they were ten
- 00:43
million more people so a total of fifteen million gained
- 00:46
so far My goodness that's a big oppel Population increase
- 00:50
goes like five ten fifteen twenty twenty five Total population
- 00:54
is five fifteen thirty fifty seventy five Kind of taking
- 00:57
a little bit so the total population is exponentially increasing
- 01:02
But that's not quite exponentially interesting but at least we're
- 01:05
through with this problem So yeah the answer is a 00:01:08.49 --> [endTime] exponential growth
