In old-growth forests of douglas fir, the spotted owl dines mainly on flying squirrels. if we left when the initial population is 30 owls and 45 squirrels, then the number of rows and squirrels will continue to increase. eventually there will be about (round to the nearest whole number) how many owls for every 1000 squirrels

There are 667 owls for every 1000 squirrels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of owls = 30

Number of squirrels = 45

If the number of owls and squirrels will continue to increase.

If there are 1000 squirrels, then the number of owls would be

Hence, there are 667 owls for every 1000 squirrels.

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
