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 same area, the relationship between the hawk population and the human population can be modeled with the equation h(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 equation m(h) = 800+ h/5. How many mice would be in the area if 280 000 people live in the area? a) 860 b) 972 c) 572 d) 800
