If a class had 6000 students in 1994 and enrollment doubled every 8 years; what was it in 1970?
A: 750
B: 850
C: 950
D: 1050
From 1994 to 1970 (24 years; three 8-year periods); enrollment doubled thrice. Thus; 6000 ÷ (2^3) = 750. Other values are incorrect. Exponential growth models are key for studying population dynamics and resource planning in mathematics.
