Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential growth function is 
Where 'a' is the initial population
r is the rate of growth and x is the time period in years
a steady population of 32,000. So initial population is 32,000
an increase of 8% per year. the rate of increase is 8% that is 0.08
a= 32000 and r= 0.08
Plug in all the values in the general equation
A) Plan A requires for a percentage increase of a number of students. This means that year after year the number of new students will increase. Plan B requires for a constant number of new students each year. This means that year after year the percentage increase would get smaller.
B) To solve this problem we will use formula for a growth of population:
Where:
final = final number of students
initial = initial number of students
percentage = requested percentage increase
t = number of years
We can insert numbers and solve for t:
For Plan B we can use simple formula
increase = 120
increase per year = 20
number of years = increase / (increase per year) = 120 / 20 = 6 years
Plan B is better to double the <span>enrollment.
C)We use same steps as in B) to solve this.

For Plan B we can use simple formula
increase = 240
increase per year = 20
number of years = increase / (increase per year) = 240 / 20 = 12 years
Plan A is better to triple the enrollment.
Juice bottles are J, replace j with 6 in the equation and solve for w:
3w + 4(6) = 39
3w + 24 =39
Subtract 24 from both sides:
3w = 15
Divide both sides by 3:
w = 15/3
w = 5
You can buy 5 water bottles.
