The population growth of two cities is being compared in a study. The population of the first city, Figwood, can be modeled with the function Pp= 10,000(1.05), where
tis the time in years since the start of the study and Pfis the population.
The population of the second city, Hoodland, can be modeled with the function PH=45,000(1.02),
where tis the time in years since the start of the study and PHis the population.
