Question

A new high school is adding 50 new students each year. This is an example of:

A: Geometric Gowth


B: Arithmetic Growth


C: Geometric Decay


D: Arithmetic Decay

Answer 1

B: Arithmetic Growth

Explanation:

A new high school is adding 50 new students each year.

This means that each year, the number of students is 50 plus the number of students in the previous year.

The fixed change of 50 means that we have an arithmetric growth(the difference between the number of students in consecutive years is always the same), and the correct answer is given by option B.
