Answer:
- Let p be the population at t be the number of years since 2011. Then,
- The projected population of the high school in 2015=1800
- In <u>2019</u> the population be 1600 students
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The population at Bishop High School students in 2011 =2000
Also, Every year the population decreases by 50 students which implies the rate of decrease in population is constant.
So, the function is a linear function.
Let p be the population at t be the number of years since 2011.
Then,
So at t=0, p=2000
In year 2015, t=4, substitute t=4 in the above equation ,we get
Hence, the projected population of the high school in 2015=1800
Now, put p=1600 in the function , we get
Now, 2011+8=2019
Hence, in <u>2019</u> the population be 1600 students
