In a population of wolves, the birth rate is 4, the death rate is 3, immigration is 2, and emigration is 3. Calculate the population growth by filling in the formula below.

[tex]\[ \text{Population Growth} = \text{(Birth Rate - Death Rate)} + \text{(Immigration - Emigration)} \][/tex]

Since the population growth is [tex]\(\square\)[/tex], the population is [tex]\(\square\)[/tex].

To determine the population growth of the wolf population, we use the information given:

1. Birth rate: [tex]\(4\)[/tex]
2. Death rate: [tex]\(3\)[/tex]
3. Immigration: [tex]\(2\)[/tex]
4. Emigration: [tex]\(3\)[/tex]

The formula to calculate the population growth is:
[tex]\[ \text{Population growth} = (\text{Birth rate} - \text{Death rate}) + (\text{Immigration} - \text{Emigration}) \][/tex]

Let's fill in the values:

1. Subtract the death rate from the birth rate:
[tex]\[ 4 - 3 = 1 \][/tex]

2. Subtract the emigration from the immigration:
[tex]\[ 2 - 3 = -1 \][/tex]

3. Add the results of the two differences:
[tex]\[ 1 + (-1) = 0 \][/tex]

Therefore, the population growth is [tex]\(0\)[/tex].

Now, let's rewrite the given formula and fill in the numbers:
[tex]\[ 4 \quad 3 \quad 1 \quad 2 \quad -3 = 0 \][/tex]

Since the population growth is [tex]\(0\)[/tex],
the population remains unchanged.

Hence,

[tex]\[ \text{Since the population growth is } 0, \text{the population is } 0 \][/tex]
