Let P be the population of North High School today, and let r be the annual growth rate as a decimal (i.e., r=0.03 since the population increases by 3% per year). We want to find the expression for the population n years from now.
We can use the formula for exponential growth, which is:
Pn=P(1+r)n
where Pn is the population after n years.
In this case, we want to find the population 2 years from now, so we plug in n=2:
P2=P(1+r)2
We are given that the population today is 1400, so we substitute P=1400:
P2=1400(1+0.03)2
Simplifying, we get:
P2=1400(1.03)2
Calculating, we get:
P21474.18
Therefore, the expression that finds the population of North High School in 2 years is:
1400(1.03)2
