2.3 Exercise 52

Avg difficulty 2.5

In 2004, a school population was 1,001. By 2008 the population had grown to 1,697. Assume the population is changing linearly.

  1. ⓐ How much did the population grow between the year 2004 and 2008?
  2. ⓑ How long did it take the population to grow from 1,001 students to 1,697 students?
  3. ⓒ What is the average population growth per year?
  4. ⓓ What was the population in the year 2000?
  5. ⓔ Find an equation for the population, P, P , of the school t years after 2000.
  6. ⓕ Using your equation, predict the population of the school in 2011.
