The population of Arlington High School can be modeled using the equation P(t) = 3,500(1.027)^t , where t represents the number of years since 2010

Is the population of Arlington High increasing or decreasing? Explain how you can tell using the equation.

Explanation:

Arlington is increasing because it has 1.027, if it was 0.27 it would be decreasing

If p(6)= 4107 that means after 6 years there would be a total population of 4107
