For the answer to the question above, Well, first let us put up a functional equation.
Since this is an exponential function, it'll be: f(t)=54,000*1.03^t
But we want to know how many wolves there were 10 years ago.
For that, we simply "turn time around", as in: f(t)=54,00*1.03^-t
This displays a decreasing number of wolves, as you turn back time.
Now we simply calculate 54,000*1.03^-10
which is approximately 40,200?
