Answer

Find out the  what is the coyote population in 2006 .

To prove

As given

A research study in the year 2000 found that there were 440 coyotes in a given region.

The coyote population is expected to grow at a rate of 17% each year.

Thus the increasing exponential function is denoted by.

Where a is the intial population .

            r is in the decimal form.

             t is the time.

Here

a = 440

r = 0.17

t = 6 years (From 2000 to 2006)

Put all the values in the formula

y = 440 × 2.56516

y = 1128.67

Thus

y = 1129 (Rounded to nearest whole number)

Therefore the  coyote population in 2006 is 1129.
