Answer:

  • c(n) = 320·0.96^n
  • 28 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Each year, the class size is multiplied by 1 - 4% = 96% = 0.96. After n years, it has been multiplied by that number n times. Repeated multiplication is signified using an exponent.

Class size (c) can be modeled by ...

  c(n) = 320·0.96^n

__

You want to find n such that c(n) = 100. Put in that value and solve.

  100 = 320·0.96^n

  100/320 = 0.96^n . . . . . . . divide by 320

  log(100/320) = n·log(0.96) . . . . . . . take logs

  log(100/320)/log(0.96) = n ≈ 28.4932

In about 28 years, the class will have 100 students.

You must use the LCD 1/7 + 3/14 *Convert Into into like fractions and add them
Tresset [83]
The LCD of 1/17 and 3/14 is 14.

1/7 = 2/14

3/14 = 3/14

2 + 3 = 5

The denominators are the same, so it will remain the same.

= 5/14 <===

5/14 is your answer.
