The population of a town is 2100 and increasing at a rate of 1.3% per year, while the number of cats in the town is currently 1000 and increasing at a rate of 8% per year. Assuming this trend continues, estimate when the cat population will exceed the human population in this town.
if you graph y = .013x + 2100 and y = .08 + 1000 you will see the lines intersect when the town population is 16,418 and the number of cats equals 2,313.
