The table shows the population of California for 2000 and \(2010,\) with estimates given by the U.S. Census Bureau for 2001 through 2009 \(\begin{array}{lllllll}\hline \text { Year } & {2000} & {2001} & {2002} & {2003} & {2004} & {2005} \\ \hline \text { Population } & {33.87} & {34.21} & {34.55} & {34.90} & {35.25} & {35.60} \\ \hline\end{array}\) \(\begin{array}{llllll}{\text { Year }} & {2006} & {2007} & {2008} & {2009} & {2010} \\ {\text { Population }} & {36.00} & {36.36} & {36.72} & {37.09} & {37.25}\end{array}\) a. Divide the population for each year by the population in the preceding year. Round to two decimal places and show that California has a population increase that is approximately geometric. b. Write the general term of the geometric sequence modeling California's population, in millions, \(n\) years after 1999 c. Use your model from part (b) to project California's population, in millions, for the year \(2020 .\) Round to two decimal places.
Exercises \(116-118\) will help you prepare for the material covered in the next section. In Exercises \(116-117\) show that $$1+2+3+\cdots+n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$$ is true for the given value of \(n\) $$ n=3: \text { Show that } 1+2+3=\frac{3(3+1)}{2} $$
How do you determine if an infinite geometric series has a sum? Explain how to find the sum of such an infinite geometric series.
Will help you prepare for the material covered in the next section. Use the formula \(a_{n}=a_{1} 3^{n-1}\) to find the seventh term of the sequence \(11,33,99,297, \ldots\)
Use the formula for the value of an annuity to solve Exercises 77–84. Round answers to the nearest dollar. At age \(25,\) to save for retirement, you decide to deposit \(\$ 50\) at the end of each month in an IRA that pays \(5.5 \%\) compounded monthly. a. How much will you have from the IRA when you retire at age \(65 ?\) b. Find the interest.
