Question

In 1993, the moose population in a park was measured to be 1600. By 1996, the population was measured again to be 3500. If the population continues to change linearly:Find a formula for the moose population, , in terms of , the years since 1990.

Answer 1

M(t) = (1900/3)t-300 = 1900t/3 -300

M(3)= 1900-300 = 1600

M(6) = 3800-300 = 3500
