The human population of the Earth can be modeled by P(t ) =3.1(1.016)^t where t represents the number of
years since 1963, and P(t) is measured in billions of people?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

  • P(t ) =3.1(1.016)^t

The multiplier is a 3.1, the coefficient of the exponent and it is a positive number greater than 1.

The y-intercept is the intersection of the graph with the y-axis.

It is obtained at the zero input value:

  • P(0) = 3.1*(1.016)^0 = 3.1*1 = 3.1

This is same value mentioned above.
