Question 1153709: 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?
By how many? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
trees

Just a guess the exponentiation is missing in both the functions.
F%28x%29=p%28m%29%5Et

for p, m, t known or given, evaluate F.
