A population of 65 foxes in a wildlife preserve triples in size every 12 years. The function y = 65.3*, where x is the number of 12-year periods, models the population growth. How

Answer:

585 foxes

Explanation:

36/12 = 3

That means there are 3 fifteen-year periods in 36 years.

So after 3 fifteen-year periods, there will be 65 × 3³ foxes

That is 75(27) foxes

585 foxes
