Answer

103 wolves, rounded to the nearest whole number

Work Step by Step

According to the question, we know that y_{0}= 83, as that is the initial population of the wolves. The question asks us for the population in 5 years. This means that our value of t = 5. Plugging this into the equation, we get: y=y_{0}\times(e^{0.043\times5}) y=83\times(e^{0.215} y=83\times1.240 y=102.92\approx103 wolves
