1. Using your mouse to find the points on each country’s population line, complete the chart below: (3 points)

Country	1975	2000
China
India
United States

Question	Points Possible	Points Earned	Comments
Country 1	1
Country 2	1
Country 3	1
Total	3

2. Use the following equation:

to predict the future populations of the three countries. To do this, consider 1975 as the start point (i.e. ) and the corresponding population value for . To find , substitute the second population point (from 2000) into the and values, respectively. Identify the equations to model each of the country’s population growth model. Show all work. (12 points)

a) China:

b) India:
