Question 1153515: Consider this scenario: For each year t, the population of a forest of trees is represented by the function
A(t) = 117(1.025)t.
In a neighboring forest, the population of the same type of tree is represented by the function
B(t) = 87(1.029)t.

Assuming the population growth models continue to represent the growth of the forests, which forest will have a greater number of trees after 20 years?
forest represented by A(t)
forest represented by B(t)
By how many? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
trees

They want you substitute t= 20 into each of the two given formulas and calculate the output values; then compare them.


Happy calculations (!)
