Answer:

2372 fish

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

y = 14.08 • 2.08^x

where y represents the number of fish in a lake and x represents the year.

In order to predict the number of fish in year 7, just replace x = 7 in the above equation, to get:

y = 14.08 • 2.08^(7)

y = 2371.6 ≅ 2372

Answer:

2372

Step-by-step explanation:

Filling in a 7 for x gives you

$y=14.08(2.08)^7$

Raise 2.08 to the power of 7 to get

y = 14.08(168.4392677) and multiply to get

y = 2371.62489

Since we cannot have a decimal amount of fish, the population will round to 2372 as a whole number
