SOLUTION: The size of the bear population at a national park increases at the rate of 5.1% per year. If the size of the current population in the year 2004 was 168, find how many bears there

Question 248834: The size of the bear population at a national park increases at the rate of 5.1% per year. If the size of the current population in the year 2004 was 168, find how many bears there should be in 4 years?
Use the function f(x) = 168e0.051t

Since they want the bear population 4 years later
t = 4
Plug it in to:
f(t) = 168e^(0.051t)
f(4) = 168e^(0.051(4))
f(4) = 168e^0.204
f(4) = 206
