The function shown in the graph represents the number of lions in a region after x years, where the rate of decay is 2096. The number of zebras in that same
region after x years can be modeled by the function f(x) = 300(0.95). A
representative for a conservationist group claims there will be fewer lions than
zebras within 2 years. Is the representative correct? Justify your answer.
The representative is After 2 years, the exponential model for the
zebra population predicts there will be approximately zebra(s) in the region
and an exponential model for the lion population predicts there will be
approximately lion(s) in the region.
(Round to the nearest whole number as needed.)
