The fox population in a certain region has an exponential growth rate. It is estimated that the population in the year 2000 was 14900, and the population estimate in 2004 (four years later) was 17485.
(a) Find a function that models the population t years after 2000 ( t =0 for 2000).

(a) Your answer is P(t) = _______ should have the "form" Aoe^kt (i have tried 14900e^t) but that is incorrect :(

(b) Use the function from part (a) to estimate the fox population in the year 2008. Your answer is (the answer must be an integer) ________ ?
