About the size of New Jersey, Israel has seen its population soar to more than 6 million since it was established. The graphs show that by 2050, Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem will outnumber Israelis. Exercises 7–8 involve the projected growth of these two populations.

a. In 2000, the population of Israel was approximately 6.04 million and by 2050 it is projected to grow to 10 million. Use the exponential growth model A = A₀e^kt, in which t is the number of years after 2000, to find an exponential growth function that models the data.

b. In which year will Israel’s population be 9 million?
