Answer:

n(t) = 11e^0.019t

Explanation:

The estimated population in 2010 = 11,000,000 = initial population

The growth rate = 1.9% per year = 1.9/100 =

The exponential growth model follows the general form :

n(t) = ae^rt

a = Initial population ; r = growth rate ; t = period

Hence, we have ;

n(t) = 11e^0.019t in millions
