A college has an enrollment of 5678 and 24 % of these will graduate and 1250 more students will enroll each year. How many students will there be in 6 years? How many in 15 years.
-------------------------------
Equation:
N(x) = 5678(0.76)^x + 1250x
--------------------------
N(6) = 5678(0.76)^6 + 1250*6 = 8594.15
Rounding down N(6) = 8594
