In 2002, there were 972 students enrolled at Oakview High School. Since then, the number of students has increased by 1.5% each

year. Write an exponential function to model the situation, then find the number of students enrolled in 2014. Is this considered growth or decay?

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.

Given the functions f(x) = x² – 8 and g(x) = 4-x, determine the equation for the combined function
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

y=x^2+x-12

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x² – 8 and g(x) = 4-x

y=f(x) - g(x)

y=(x² – 8) - (4-x)

y=x^2-8-4+x\\y=x^2+x-12

The sum of two numbers is 43 . The smaller number is 19 less than the larger number. What are the numbers?
Setler [38]
Let the smaller number be x and the larger number be y.
We can calculate this by using simultaneous equation, aka listing 2 equations out.
From given,
X + y = 43
Let this be equation no. 1
X + 19 = y
Let this number be equation 2.
We can do simultaneous equations either by substitute method or elimination. In this case I'm using substitute.
We can already obtain the value of y (in terms of x) in euqation no. 2, so all we gonna do is to put y into equation 1.
X + x + 19 = 43
Solve this by algebra.
2x = 43 - 19
X = 12
Now we know the exact value of x
Now substitute x = 12 into equation no. 2
12 + 19 = y
Y = 31
So the answer is 12 and 31
