    Answer: x represents time

    Step-by-step explanation:

    f (x) = abˣ

    a represents the initial population b represents the rate (in decimal form) x represents time

    f (x) = abˣ

    a = 8 b = 9% =.09 x = 6

    f (6) = 8 (1 +.09) ⁶

    = 8 (1.677)

    = 13.4

    In 6 years, the population of the wolves will be 13
