4) A group of foxes is living on a farm. The farmer wants to know how many foxes will be on the farm in the future.
He knows that the fox population can be modeled with the following exponential equation:
𝑝 = 1.8(2.9)𝑡 where p is the population after t years. About how many foxes can the farmer expect to be on
the farm 5 years from now?
i. # of foxes (population)
p represents ____________________________.
