14. A Population Model According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the population of the world
in 2012 was 7018 million people. In addition, the population of the world was growing at
a rate of 1.26% per year. Assuming that this growth rate continues, the model
P(t) = 7018(1.0126)t - 2012 represents the population P (in millions of people) in year t.
(a) According to this model, what will be the population of the world in 2015? 14a. _________
(b) According to this model, what will be the population of the world in 2025? 14b. _________
