the graph shows the population growth of insects in pod a. the table shows the population growth of insects in pod b. both populations grew exponentially.

(a) at the end of month 0, about how many more insects were in pod a than pod b? explain.
(b) find and compare the growth rates of each pod. show your work.
(c) when does the population in pod b exceed the population in pod a? explain.

(a) At the end of Month 0, about how many more insects were in Pod A than Pod B? Explain.
In Pod A, the point is higher than 50, it could be 60 to 70 insects. Pod B has 20 insects. So, Pod A has at least 40 insects more than Pod B.

(b) Find and compare the growth rates of each pod. Show your work.
Pod A: (0,60) ; (1,80) ; (2,100) 
(80-60)/60 = 0.33
(100-80)/80 =  0.25

Pod B: (0,20) ; (1,44) ; (2,97)
(44-20)/20 = 1.2
(97-44)/44 = 1.2

Based on my computation, the rate of Pod A is lower than the rate of Pod B. 

(c) When does the population in Pod B exceed the population in Pod A? Explain. 
Pob B exceeds the population of Pod A at the END OF MONTH 4.

Pod A has a population of less than 200 while Pod B has a population of 469.

Aquadratic function is one of the form f(x)=ax2 + bx + c l, where a,b, and c are numbers with are not equal to zero.
