Hawks do not like the noise that humans make, so they tend to move out of an area as more and more people move into the area. If p represents the number of thousands of people in an area, and h represents the number of hawks in the samearea, the relationship between the hawk population and the human population can be modeled with the equationh(p) = 1000 - p/2.Since hawks eat mice, as the hawk population decreases, the mice population in the area will increase. If m represents the number of mice in the area, this relationship can be modeled with the equationm(h) = 800+ h/5.How many mice would be in the area if 280 000 people live in the area?a) 860b) 972c) 572d) 800
