Question

a college graduates by a factor of 1.045 every year since 1999. in 1999 924 student graduated approximately how many students will graduate in 2014​

Answer 1

1788

Explanation:

The number of students who graduates from college is multiplied by a factor of 1.045 every year since 1999.

So, the number of students graduated every year can be modeled as

`G(x) = 924(1.045)^(x)` where x is the number of the year since 1999.

Now, in 2014, the x value is (14 + 1) = 15 years.

So, the number of students who will graduate in 2014 is given by

`G(15) = 924(1.045)^(15) = 1788.2` ≈ 1788. (Answer)
