Answer:

49243

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the population of rabbits on an island is growing exponentially.

Let the population, P=P_0e^{bt}

where, P_0 and b are constants, t=(Current year -1994) is the time in years from 1994.

In 1994, t=0, the population of rabbit, P=9600, so

9600=P_0e^{b\times 0}

So, P_0=9600

and in 2000, t=2000-1994=6 years and population of the rabbit, P=18400

18400=9600 \times e^{b\times 6} \\\\\frac{18400}{9600}=e^{b\times 6} \\\\

\ln(23/12}=6b \\\\

b = \frac{\ln{1.92}}{6} \\\\

b=0.109

On putting the value of P_0 and b, the population of the rabbit after t years from 1994 is

P=9600 \times e^{0.109\times t}

In 2009, t= 2009-1994=15 years,

So, the population of the rabbit in 2009

P=9600 \times e^{0.109\times 15}=49243

Hence, the population of the rabbit in 2009 is 49243.
