  4.   The table below shows the population in the state of Illinois for the past 100 years, in 10-year increments. Find an exponential function I for which the input is the years after 1900, t, and the output is the approximate population of Illinois in that year.
   
    A. I (t) = 1.01(5,336,159t)
    B. I (t) = 1,650,710(0.12t)
    C. I (t) = 5,336,159(1.01t)
