Step-by-step explanation

The growth model is given by the following expression:


A=A_0(1+r)^t

Where A_0=Initial Population = 5 billion

r=growth rate = 2% = 0.02 in decimal form

t=time = 1993 - 1987 = 6 years

Plugging in the numbers into the equation:


A=5(1+0.02)^6

Computing the power:


A=5\cdot(1.02)^6

Computing the product:


A=5\cdot1.13

Multiplying numbers:


A=5.63billion

In conclusion, the population in 6 years will be of 5.63 billion.
