Compare with the actual figure and try to explain the discrepancy. (b) Use the exponential model and the census figures for 1980 and 1990 to predict the population in 2000. Compare with the actual population. Then use this model to predict the population in the years 2010 and 2020. ; (c) Graph both of the exponential functions in parts (a) and (b) together with a plot of the actual population.
