Question

wooded area in a state park has a mixture of different types of trees. There are 800 pine trees and 50 oak trees. The number of pine trees is decreasing at a rate of 5% per year. The number of oak trees is increasing at a rate of 15% per year. If these trends continue:

Write two functions to model this situation, and graph those two functions on the same coordinate grid.
F(P)=800*0.95^P
F(O)=50*1.15^O



During what year in the future will the park have approximately the same number of pine and oak trees?

Answer 3

are ^P and ^O exponents?

Answer 4

yes and i figured it out im closing it the answer to the year was 14

Answer 5

are they given or did you come up with them?

Answer 6

i came up with them

Answer 7

so i would choose different letters for clarity, you want your functions to describe the number of trees as a function of years. so both functions should have a common element representing years.
