- U.S. Hispanic Population A recent report by the U.S. Census Bureau predicts that the U.S. Hispanic population will increase from 35.6 million in 2000 to 102.6 million in 2050. Source: U.S. Census Bureau. Assuming the unlimited growth model dydt=ky fits this population growth, express the population y as a function of the year t. Let 2000 correspond to t=0.arrow_forwardNervous system In a model of the nervous system, the intensity of excitation of a nerve pathway is given by I=E[1ea(sh)/E], Where E is the maximum possible excitation, S is the intensity of a stimulus, h is a threshold stimulus, and a is a constant.
