Question

In 1993, the moose population in a park was measured to be 4760. By 1999, the population was measured again to be 5960. If the population continues to change linearly:

Answer 1

The formula for moose population is P = 4760 + (number of years x 200).

The moose population in 2003 would be 6760.

What would be the moose population in 2003?

When a population increases linearly, it means that it increases by the same amount each year.  

Rate of linear increase: (population in 1999 - population in 1993) / difference in years

(5960 - 4760) / (1999 - 1993)

1200 / 6 = 200

Linear function : initial population + (rate of increase x number of years)

Population in 2003: 4760 + (200 x 10)

4760 + 2000 = 6760
