A small town has two local high schools. High School A currently has 250 students and is projected to grow by 50 students each year. High School B currently has 450 students and is projected to grow by 25 students each year. Let A represent the number of students in High School A in t years, and let B represent the number of students in High School B after t years. Graph each function and determine after how many years, t, the number of students in both high schools would be the same.

(5,2) and (4,1) like that on the graph
Answer: ________
students

years
years of student

Answer 1

in 8 years both school will have 650 students

Explanation:

HS A (t) = 250+50t

HSB (t) = 450+25t

250 + 50t = 450 + 25t

25t=200

t=8

in 8 years

to graph this:

HSA points (0,250) (2, 350) (4, 450) (8, 650)(10, 750)

HSB points (0, 450) ( 2, 500) (4, 550) (8, 650) (10, 700)

when you graph then you will notice they intercept at 8, which gives you 650 students
