1. $S(5) = 2024$ means that there were 2,024 students in the year 2005.
2. $S(10) = S(15) - 40$ means that there were 40 fewer students in 2010 than there were in 2015.

The first statement $S(5) = 2024$ is correct because it directly relates to the number of students in the school district in the year 2005, which is 5 years after 2000. This statement gives a specific value for a specific year, making it a valid interpretation of the function $S(t)$.
On the other hand, the fourth statement $S(10) = S(5)$ means there were the same number of students in the years 2010 and 2005. This would imply that the number of students remained constant over the five-year period which is not realistic for most school districts and doesn't necessarily coincide with the typical trend of student enrollment over time. Hence, it is not a typical or usual scenario for a school district and does not align with common patterns of student enrollment.

1. $S(5) = 2024$ means that there were 2,024 students in the year 2005.
2. $S(10) = S(15) - 40$ means that there were 40 fewer students in 2010 than there were in 2015.
So, statements 1 and 2 are the correct answers. Thank you for your patience.

The statement $S(10) = S(15) - 40$ means that the number of students enrolled in the school district 10 years after 2000 is 40 fewer than the number of students enrolled 15 years after 2000.
This statement indicates that there was a decrease in the number of students over the five-year period between year 10 and year 15. This decrease of 40 students in enrollment accurately captures the relationship specified in the statement and aligns with a realistic trend where the number of students can change over time.
Therefore, because this statement accurately represents the relationship between the number of students 10 years after 2000 and 15 years after 2000, statement 2 is correct.

The second statement mentioned was: $S(10) = S(15) - 40$
This statement would mean that the number of students enrolled in the school district 10 years after 2000 is 40 fewer than the number of students enrolled 15 years after 2000. However, the wording of this statement could be misconstrued.
If we consider the chronological order of when these years occur, we first have year 15 and then year 10. So if we are being precise, the number of students in year 10 (S(10)) should be greater than or equal to the number of students in year 15 (S(15)), and not 40 less.
Therefore, with the correct interpretation in mind, it appears that statement 2 is not accurate. Thank you for your patience.
