The size of the coyote population at a national park increases at the rate of $4.7 \%$ per year. If the size of the current population is 196 , find how many coyotes there should be in 6 years. Use $\mathrm { y } = \mathrm { y } _ { \mathrm { o } } \mathrm { e } ^ { 0.047 \mathrm { t } }$ and round to the nearest whole number.$\mathrm { y } = 196 \mathrm { e } ^ { 0.047 \times 6 } = 196 \mathrm { e } ^ { 0.282 } = 196 \times 1.325 = 259.5$Rounding to the nearest whole number, there should be 260 coyotes in 6 years.
