Answer:
The population would be 11971.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the complete question is,
"The model [tex]P=2,320(1.2)^x[/tex] is used to estimate the deer population in a region, where x is the number of years after the year 2009. Estimate the deer population in the year 2018"
The number of years from 2009 to 2018 = 9
Here, the equation that shows the deer population after x years since 2009,
[tex]P=2320(1.2)^x[/tex]
Substitute x=9 in the above equation,
[tex]P=2320(1.2)^9[/tex]
[tex]=2320(5.15978)[/tex]
[tex]\approx 11971[/tex]
Therefore, the population of the deer in year 2018 would be 11971.
