The tuition in the school year 2012–2013 at a certain university was $15,000. For the school year 2017–2018, the tuition was $16,950. Find an exponential growth function for tuition T (in dollars) at this university t years after the 2012–2013 school year. (Round your values to four decimal places.)

In 1981 the average tuition for one year at a certain state school was $1,800. Thirty years later, in 2011, the average cost was $13,700. What was the growth rate in tuition over the 30-year period?

Degrees in Physics One study suggests that from 1955 to 1970 , the number of bachelor's degrees in physics awarded per year by U.S. universities grew exponentially, with growth constant $k=0.1$ $\begin{array}{l}{\text { (a) If exponential growth continues, how long will it take for the num- }} \\ {\text { ber of degrees awarded per year to increase } 14 \text { -fold? }} \\ {\text { (b) If } 2500 \text { degrees were awarded in } 1955, \text { in which year were } 10,000} \\ {\text { degrees awarded? }}\end{array}$
