In a forested area, the number of trees, T can be expressed as a function of the initial number of trees planted. If the initial number of trees in the forest is 10,000 with a growth rate of 20%, how many tree will there be in 5 years (round to the nearest interger)?

N = N (1+0.20)^5

Here, that'd be 10000(1.20)^5, or 24883 trees.
