Question

In what year will the population of Canada reach approximately 35,140,000? P.S. I have no idea

Answer 1

This could be in about 3 years and 9 months from the end of 2016.

Explanation:

In order to find an answer you have to start with some information!

According to "worldmeters" the 2016 population of Canada was
`36,286,378` which was a drop of 0.96%# of the population the previous year.

If we assume that the rate of decrease will stay the same we can now answer the question.

`A =P(1-r/100)^n`

`35,140,000 = 36,286,378(1-0.0096)^n" "larr` div 36,286,378

`35140000/(36286378) = 0.9904^n " "larr` log both sides

`log(35140000/36286378) = log0.9904^n" "larr` log power law

`log(35140000/36286378) = nlog0.9904" "larr` isolate n

`n = log(35140000/36286378)/log0.9904" "larr` calculator work

`n = 3.33`

As this is the number of years, it means that in a bit more than 3 years the population will be 35 140 000.

`3.33` years = `3` years `9.3` months

This could be in about 3 years and 9 months.
