1. For a certain model, when the population is 150 the growth factor is 3.4, and when the population is 750, the growth factor is 1. Find a linear equation relating the population and growth factor. Two points: (150, 3.4) and (750, 1) Slope = m =_3.4-1 =_ 2.4 = -.004 150 - 750 -600 Now equation of line: (1-1) = = -.004- P- 750) (r-1) =-.004-P+3 r=-.004-P+4 or r=4-.004P Difference Equation for model: Pati = 4 -.004-P,):P,
