A population of 35 foxes in a wildlife preserve quadruples in size every year. The function y=35.4^x, where x is the number of years, models the population growth. How many foxes will there be after 6 years?
To find the number of foxes after 6 years, we can substitute x=6 into the equation y=35.4^x.
y = 35.4^6
Using a calculator, we find that 35.4^6 is approximately 3,637.73
Therefore, there will be approximately 3,637.73 foxes after 6 years.
