The function that represents the number of students, S, in the school district after n years is [tex]S=12000(0.95)^n[/tex]

Original population , P = 12000

Rate of decline, r = 5%

r = 5/100

r = 0.05

The number of years = n

The population of students after n years will be given by the formula:

[tex]S =P(1-r)^n[/tex]

Substitute r = 0.05 and P = 12000 into the formula above

[tex]S=12000(1-0.05)^n\\\\S=12000(0.95)^n[/tex]
