In 1993, the moose population in a park was measured to be 3960. By 1998, the population was measured again to be 3360. If the population continues to change linearly: A.) Find a formula for the moose population, P, in terms of t, the years since 1990. P(t)= B.) What does your model predict the moose population to be in 2002?
