An expression for the increase after five years as repeated multiplication is: Question Blank 1 of 2
2 • 2 • 2 • 2 • 2

An expression for the increase after five years as an exponential expression is: Question Blank 2 of 2
Answer

Answer 1

For the scenario where a population of rabbits doubles every year, you can represent the increase after five years in two ways:

1. As repeated multiplication: This is essentially multiplying 2 by itself for each of the five years of growth:

   • Question Blank 1 of 2: 2 • 2 • 2 • 2 • 2

2. As an exponential expression: In this case, since the population doubles every year, after five years, the population can be expressed as \( 2^5 \).

   • Question Blank 2 of 2: 2^5

So, the answers are:

1. Question Blank 1: 2 • 2 • 2 • 2 • 2
2. Question Blank 2: 2^5
