Answer:

By next September, the estimated population would be 284 cottontail rabbits

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula that express the growth of the rabbits is

Y = 175(2.7)0.05t

Y = number of rabbits

Where t = time in months.

The growth of the rabbits in 12 months would be. Since from one September to another equal 1 year which is 12 months.

Y = 175(2.7)0.05(12)

Y = 283.5 = 284 rabbits

The estimated population of cottontail rabbits by next September is 284 rabbits
