The data in the table give the approximate population of the United States every decade from 1900 to 1990.

Assume that the population growth can be modeled with an exponential function

^mx
 where
 is the year and
 is the population in millions. Use least squares to determine the constants
 and
 for which the function best fits the data, and graph the data and the exponential curve on the same set of axes. Use the equation to estimate the population in the years
