Question

For the following exercises, consider this scenario: For each year t, the population of a forest of trees is represented by the function A(t)=115(1.025)t.A(t)=115(1.025)^{t}. In a neighboring forest, the population of the same type of tree is represented by the function B(t)=82(1.029)t.B(t)=82(1.029)^{t}. (Round answers to the nearest whole number.) Which forest had a greater number of trees initially? By how many?
