Answer:

2023 rabbits

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential model consists of the following expression:

y = A \cdot r^{t}

Where:

A - Initial population.

r - Increase rate.

t - Time

y - Current population.

The initial population and increase rate are, respectively:

1200 = A \cdot r^{0}

A = 1200

1700 = 1200 \cdot r^{4}

r^{4} = \frac{1700}{1200}

r^{4} = \frac{17}{12}

r = \sqrt[4]{\frac{17}{12} }

r \approx 1.091

The exponential model that predicts the population of rabbits is:

y = 1200\cdot 1.091^{t}

Lastly, the expected population for the year 1996 is:

y = 1200\cdot 1.091^{6}

y\approx 2023.624\,rabbits
