Chapter 11, Problem 79(choose chapter or problem)
In Exercises 7980, you will develop geometric sequences that model the population growth for California and Texas, the two most-populated U.S. states.The table shows population estimates for California from2003 through 2006 from the U.S. Census Bureau.Year 2003 2004 2005 2006Population in millions 35.48 35.89 36.13 36.46a. Divide the population for each year by the populationin the preceding year. Round to two decimal placesand show that California has a population increasethat is approximately geometric.b. Write the general term of the geometric sequencemodeling Californias population, in millions, n yearsafter 2002.c. Use your model from part (b) to project Californiaspopulation, in millions, for the year 2010. Round totwo decimal places.
