Using an linear function, we find that by 2020 only 11% of all American adults believe that most qualified students get to attend college.
-----------------------------------------
A decaying linear function has the following format:
In which
- A(0) is the initial amount.
- m is the slope, that is, the yearly decay.
- In 2000, 45% believed, thus,
- Decaying by 1.7 each year, thus
.
The equation is:
It will be 11% in t years after 2000, considering t for which A(t) = 11, that is:
2000 + 20 = 2020
By 2020 only 11% of all American adults believe that most qualified students get to attend college.
