Question

create a sequence to show exponential growth where the population of 120 is doubling every day
a 120,360,1080
b 120,240,480
c 120,240,480,360,480
d 120,60,30

Answer 1

To show exponential growth where the population of 120 is doubling every day, we can start with the initial population of 120 and then multiply by 2 for each subsequent day.

Starting from 120:
- Day 0: 120
- Day 1: 120 * 2 = 240
- Day 2: 240 * 2 = 480
- Day 3: 480 * 2 = 960
- Day 4: 960 * 2 = 1920

Based on this sequence, the correct sequence that represents exponential growth (doubling) is:

**b**: 120, 240, 480

The other options do not reflect the correct doubling pattern.
