If you have to estimate what the answer is it has to be reasonable... any answer is right as long as it is reasonable

To estimate this question, you can round the numbers to be compatible, to make it easier for yourself. The numbers should be able to be divided cleanly, as this is an estimate, not the actual problem solving. You could, for example, round 341 to 300, and 28 to 30, and divide them to get 10.
Hope that helped.

A biologist is studying the elk population in a county park. She starts with only 2 elk and observes that the number of elk trip

Answer:

The expression that represents the population of elk is: $\text{elk}(t) = 2*3^t$ . It'll take 6 years for the population to reach 1,458 individuals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the number of elks triples every year and starts at $\text{elk}(0) = 2$ , then after the first year the population will be:

$\text{elk}(1) = \text{elk}(0)*3 = 2*3$

While on the second year, it'll be:

$\text{elk}(2) = \text{elk}(1)*3 = 2*3*3 = 2*3^2$

On the third year:

$\text{elk}(3) = \text{elk}(2)*3 = 2*3^2*3 = 2*3^3$

And so on, therefore the expression that describes the population of elk as the years passes is:

$\text{elk}(t) = 2*3^t$

If we want to know the number of years until the population reach 1,458 elk, we need to apply this value to the left side of the equation and solve for t.

$1458 = 2*3^t\\3^t = \frac{1458}{2}\\3^t = 729\\ln(3^t) = ln(729)\\t*ln(3) = ln(729)\\t = \frac{ln(729)}{ln(3)} = 6$
