Answer: In Example 1 on page 910, we used two data points
Chapter 12, Problem 12.1.575(choose chapter or problem)
In Example 1 on page 910, we used two data points and an exponential function to model the population of the United States from 1970 through 2009. The data are shown again in the table. Use all five data points to solve Exercises 4549. Use the values of r in Exercises 4548 to select the two models of best fit. Use each of these models to predict by which year the U.S. population will reach 352 million. How do these answers compare to the year we found in Example 1, namely 2020? If you obtained different years, how do you account for this difference?
