Exponential Functions · Try It 3

The population of China was about 1.39 billion in the year 2013, with an annual growth rate of about $0.6%.$ This situation is represented by the growth function $P (t) = 1.39 (1.006)^{t},$ where $t$ is the number of years since $2013.$ To the nearest thousandth, what will the population of China be for the year 2031? How does this compare to the population prediction we made for India in?
