exponential regression equation: y=(.45)(1.o99^x)





x= the number of months


y= the millions of users












1. The amount of users on Facebook during this month would be 556 Million People.
1.252(1.1051^61) --> 1.252(444.115)= 556 (Million)

X=61, as it has been 61 months since December 2004.

2. Six months from now, will be November 2010, and 67 (61+6) months since Facebook's start.
1.252(1.1051^67) --> 1.252(808.9203) = 1,012,000000 People (around 1 Billion People will have Facebook pages.)

3. The UN states that the World's population is now around 6,692,030,277.
--- To find out when all of them have facebooks, plug that number into the equation.

(In millions) 6692.030277=1.252(1.1051^X)

5345.072106=1.1051^X

Log(5345.072106)=X Log(1.1051)

85.89=X

86-61=25

25 Months from now is May 2012.
The world will be Facebook's then.
