Answer:

1.) 1169

2.) 7

3.) 167 students/year

4.) 1879

5.) 1879+167t

6.) 4050

Explanation:

1.) Find the difference between the number of students in 2002 and 2009:


3382-2213=1169

2.) Find the difference in the years:


2009-2002=7

3.) To find the average growth, find the change between 2002 and 2009 and divide by 7.


(3382-2213)/7=y\\1169/7=y\\167=y

4.) To find the population of the students in the year 2000, we need to subtract the average growth time and the difference of years from 2213.


2213-167(2002-2000) = y\\2213-334=1879

5.) Taking the equation above, and changing it to match the requirements, we get:


P = 1879+167t

6.) Now find the difference between 2013 and 2000, and substitute for t to get:


P = 1879+167(2013-2000)\\P = 1879+167*13\\P = 4050
