Question

The current student population of Orlando is 2300. If the population decreases at a rate of 12.5% each year. What will the student population be in 5 years?

Write an exponential growth model for the future population P(x) where x is in years:

What will the population be in 5 years? (Round to nearest student)

Answer 1

1. The student population in Orlando after 5 years, with a 12.5% decrease each year, is approximately 1020 students.

2. P(x) = 2300 x (0.875) x squared

This represents the future student population  in Orlando after  years with a 12.5% decrease each year.

3. P(5) = 2300 x (0.875)5 squared

P(5) ≈ 1020

So, rounding to the nearest student, the student population in Orlando after 5 years would be approximately 1020 students.

Answer 2

1. The student population in Orlando after 5 years, with a 12.5% decrease each year, is approximately 1020 students.

2. P(x) = 2300 x (0.875) x squared

This represents the future student population  in Orlando after  years with a 12.5% decrease each year.

3. P(5) = 2300 x (0.875)5 squared

P(5) ≈ 1020

So, rounding to the nearest student, the student population in Orlando after 5 years would be approximately 1020 students.
