Answer:
about 520,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Following directions, we evaluate the equation by putting the value where the variable is and doing the arithmetic.
__
The value of x will be the number of days between May 26 and May 12. That value is ...
x = 26 -12 = 14
Then the number of mosquitos is estimated to be ...
y = 230,000(1.06^14) ≈ 520,008
About 520,000 mosquitos will inhabit the city on May 26.
