Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the starting population is 150 wolves, let the time when there will 25 wolves left be x, then
The increase in the number of wolves due to births is given by 150(1 + 0.15)^t = 150(1.15)^t
The decrease in the number of wolves due to dirths is given by 150(1 - 0.37)^t = 150(0.63)^t.
The number of wolves at time t is given by 150(1.15)^t - 150(0.63)^t = 150((1.15)^t - (0.63)^t).
Therefore, the function that could be used to predict when there will be 25 wolves in this group is 150((1.15)^t - (0.63)^t) = 25. (option D).
