=
c) Use your model from part b) to estimate what the population of the world will be in 2050. Round to the nearest tenth.
The population of the world in 2050 is estimated to be billion people.
d) Use your model from part b) to estimate when the population of the world will first be 9 billion. Round to the nearest year.
The population of the world is estimated to first reach 9 billion in the year .
