Answer:

N(t) = 972(1.015)^{t}

Growth function.

The number of students enrolled in 2014 is 1162.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of students in the school in t years after 2002 can be modeled by the following function:

N(t) = N(0)(1+r)^{t}

In which N(0) is the number of students in 2002 and r is the rate of change.

If 1+r>1, the function is a growth function.

If 1-r<1, the function is a decay function.

In 2002, there were 972 students enrolled at Oakview High School.

This means that N(0) = 972

Since then, the number of students has increased by 1.5% each year.

Increase, so r is positive. This means that r = 0.015

Then

N(t) = N(0)(1+r)^{t}

N(t) = 972(1+0.015)^{t}

N(t) = 972(1.015)^{t}

Growth function.

Find the number of students enrolled in 2014.

2014 is 2014-2002 = 12 years after 2002, so this is N(12).

N(t) = 972(1.015)^{t}

N(12) = 972(1.015)^{12}

N(12) = 1162

The number of students enrolled in 2014 is 1162.

Answer:−3K−395,−374,−198,−187

Step-by-step explanation:

Remove parentheses.

1−3K−396,0−374,0−198,0−187

Simplify  1-3K-3961−3K−396  to  -3K-395−3K−395.

−3K−395,0−374,0−198,0−187

Simplify  0-3740−374  to  -374−374.

−3K−395,−374,0−198,0−187

Simplify  0-1980−198  to  -198−198.

−3K−395,−374,−198,0−187

Simplify  0-1870−187  to  -187−187.

−3K−395,−374,−198,−187
