Using an exponential equation, it is found that the estimate for the park's  elephant population for the year 2020 is of 12967.
An increasing exponential equation is modeled by:
[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1 + r)^t[/tex]
In which:
In this problem:
Then:
[tex]A(t) = 8350(1 + 0.045)^t[/tex]
[tex]A(t) = 8350(1.045)^t[/tex]
2020 is 10 years after 2010, hence, we have to find A(10).
[tex]A(10) = 8350(1.045)^{10} = 12967[/tex]
The estimate for the park's  elephant population for the year 2020 is of 12967.
