Answer:

the population in 2015 is 8201.0695

Explanation:

Given that

There is a population of the 50 timber wolves

And, the exponential function given is

p(t) = 50 × e^(0.85 × t)

Here t denotes the time period i.e.

= 2015 - 2009

= 6

So,

= 50 × e^(0.85 × 6)

= 8201.095

Hence, the population in 2015 is 8201.0695
