Explanation:

Nevada has the fastest-growing population according to the U.S. Census bureau. In 2004, the population of Nevada was 2.62 million and increasing at an annual rate of 3.5%. What is the expected population in 2010? Apply the population growth formula N=Noe^rt

Applying the formula given above

N=Noe^rt

No = 2.62 million

r = 3.5% = 0.035

t = 2010 - 2004 = 6 years

N = 2.62 × e^6 × 0.035

N = 3.2322365171 million

= 32,322,237 millon

Approximately = 3.23 millon
