To calculate the world population in 2005 using the given function, we need to substitute t = -5 into the equation f(t) = 6.947e^(0.00745t).

f(-5) = 6.947e^(0.00745(-5))
f(-5) = 6.947e^(-0.03725)

Now we can calculate the population in 2005:

f(-5) ≈ 6.947e^(-0.03725)
f(-5) ≈ 6.947(0.963142)
f(-5) ≈ 6.692 million

Therefore, the estimated world population in 2005 based on the given function is approximately 6.692 million.
