The population of two towns, Apples and Berries, are each described by an equation relating population, p, in thousands, to time, d, in decades following the year 1950. Apples: p = 5 x 2d Berries: p = 3d a) Using technology, graph both equations on the same set of axes. Use your graph to determine when the towns will have the same population? b) What is the population at that time.
