Exponential growth and decay-Application problems (Remember: growth > y = P(1+r)', decay = y=P(1-r))
1) The student population in a high school increases by 6% a year. When it opened, the
school had 1340 students.
a) Write a formula that models this situation.
b) How many students will there be in 5 years?
c) If the maximum number of students the school can hold is 2400, how many years will
it take to reach that number?

10000

step-by-step explanation: divide by 2,

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
