In 1994, the moose population in a park was measured to be 4460. By 1997, the population was measured again to be 4430. If the population continues to change linearly: Find a formula for the moose population, P, in terms of t, the years since 1990. P(t) What does your model predict the moose population to be in 2008?

For the following exercise, consider this scenario: In 2004, a school population was 1,700. By 2012 the population had grown to 2,500. Assume the population is changing linearly. a. How much did the population grow between the year 2004 and 2012? b. What is the average population growth per year? c. Find an equation for the population, P, of the school t years after 2004.
The population P (in millions) of Texas from 2001 through 2014 can be approximated by the model P=20.913e0.0184t, where t represents the year, with t=1 corresponding to 2001. According to this model, when will the population reach 32 million?
