The student enrollment of South High School was 1,350 students in 1995 and increased by 15% per year until 2010. Approximately how many students were enrolled at South High School in 2010?

10,985 students

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the original number of students, the rate of growth and the number of years. The Future value formula can therefore be used:

Number of students in 2010 = Number of students in 1995 * ( 1 + growth rate) ^ number of years

Number of years = 2010 - 1995 = 15 years

Number of students in 2010 = 1,350 * ( 1 + 15%)¹⁵

= 10,985 students

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.
