The population of a country increased by an average of 2% per year from 2000 to 2003. If the population of this country was 2 000 000 on December 31, 2003, then the population of this country on January 1, 2000, to the nearest thousand would have been

A. 1 846 000

B. 1 852 000

C. 1 000 000

D. 1 500 000

B. 1 852 000

Step-by-step explanation:

Population of the country on Jan 1, 2000 =  P

r = 2%

total duration = 4 years,  :  2000, 2001, 2002, 2003

If we take the compounding of the rate of growth :

        2, 000, 000 = P (1 + 2/100)^4  = P (1.02)^4

              P =  1, 847,691

If we take the growth of the population similar to simple interest of money deposits, then :

          2, 000, 000 = P + P * 2/100 * 4

            P = 2, 000, 000 / 1.08 = 1, 851, 852

     In this case the answer is B

is it 35

step-by-step explanation:

point a is the center of the circle that passes through points e, f, and g and the center of the circle that passes through points x, y, and z.
