An ecologist is studying the populations of two types of fish in Lake Shasta. There are currently 2,825 Bluegills in the lake and they are increasing at a rate of 400 Bluegills per year. The data gathered on the Rainbow Trout population is shown in the table below. At this rate, how long will it take for the Bluegill population to be the same as the Rainbow Trout population? What will be the population of each fish at that time? EXPLAIN HOW YOU ARRIVED AT YOUR SOLUTION. * Rainbow Trout population
