Answer: 137,375,958
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential growth equation:
[tex]y=A(1+r)^x[/tex] , where A = initial population , x= time , r =rate of growth.
As per given: r = 1.7% = 0.017
Population of Mexico in 2003 : A= 104900000
In 2019 , x = 2019-2003 = 16
Population in Mexico : [tex]y=104900000 (1+0.017)^{16}=104900000 (1.017)^{16}[/tex]
[tex]=104900000 (1.30958968823)\approx137375958[/tex]
Population of Mexico in 2019 = 137,375,958
