25-32: Doubling Time. Each exercise gives a doubling time for an exponentially growing quantity. Answer the question (s) about the growth of each quantity.

25. The doubling time of a population of fruit flies 12 hours. By what factor does the population increase in 36 hours in 1 week?

The answer to 25 is 8; 16,384.

29.The initial population of a town is 15,000, and it grows with a doubling time of 10 years. What will the population be in 12 years?24 years?

The answer to 29 is ABOUT 34,461 people; about 79,170 people.

33-34: World population. In 2017, estimate a world population was 7.5 billion. Use the given doubling time to predict the world population in 2027, 2067, and 2117.

33.Assume a doubling time of 40 years.

The answer to 33 is 8.9 billion; 17.8 billion; 42.4 billion.

37-40: Approximate Doubling Time Formula. Use the appropriate doubling time formula (rule of 70). Discuss whether the formula is valid for the case described.

This is number 37. The Consumer Price Index is increasing at a rate of 3.2% per year. What is its doubling time? By what factor will prices increase in 3 years?

The answer 37 is 21.9 years; 1.10.
