In regards to your anser under this question:
A native wolf species has been reintroduced into a national forest. Originally 200 wolves were transplanted. After 3 years, the population had grown to 270 wolves. If the population grows exponentially, how many wolves will be there in 10 years
You are correct until you start calculating how many wolfs there will be in 10 year.
At that point I think you forget that the growth rate of 0.35 speaks to one segent of 3 years at the time, not on a year to year bases.
It can be corrected by setting it up like this: P10/3 = 200 (1.35)^10/3 = 544 wolves
or divide the 10 years by 3 first, to get a growth rate of 3.3333 and then set it up like this: P10 = 200*(1.35)^3.333 = 544 wolves
So the number of wolfs after 10 years is 544.
