Question 295222
Dear John,
It doesn't matter if the problems are for homework or not. It doesn't matter if you are in kindergarten or post grad. There is still a 4 problem limit and you have gone way over it for the day.
This is not a hard problem. 
You set it up with the year as x and the 
crappie population as y
You are given two years and two populations.
So you have two points to make a linear equation.
2003 2500
2006 4320
t=0  will be 2003
t=3  will be 2006
so we convert the points to 
(0, 2500)
(3, 4320)
What will t be in 2010?
The problem wants you to use t instead of x and f(x) instead of y.
Let me know how you complete the equation and your results.
