Writing Linear and Exponential Equations
When a new charter school opened in 1980, there were 850 students enrolled. Using function notation, write a formula representing the number, N, of students attending this charter school t years after 1980, assuming that the student population:
a) Increases by 52 students per year N(t)=\displaystyle {N}{\left({t}\right)}=
 
b) Decreases by 7.4% per year N(t)=\displaystyle {N}{\left({t}\right)}=
 
c) Decreases by 27 students per year N(t)=\displaystyle {N}{\left({t}\right)}=
 
d) Increases by 8.1% per year N(t)=\displaystyle {N}{\left({t}\right)}=
 
e) Remains constant (does not change) N(t)=\displaystyle {N}{\left({t}\right)}=
