Answer:

20 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The human population doubles approximately every 50 years

To Find:  If there were 2.5 million people in 1950 how many people are forecasted to populate the earth in 2100

Solution:

Equation for growth = [tex]y=ab^x[/tex]

where a is the initial amount

y is the amount after x years

x denotes the time

A.T.Q

[tex]y=2.5(2)^{\frac{2100-1950}{50}}[/tex]

[tex]y=20[/tex]

So, 20 million people are forecasted to populate the earth in 2100 .
