To find the population after 2 years, we need to calculate the value of the function when x = 24 (since there are 12 months in a year).
f(x) = 160 * 2^x
f(24) = 160 * 2^24
f(24) = 160 * 16,777,216
f(24) = 2,684,354,560
So there will be 2,684,354,560 crickets after 2 years. Answer: 2,684,354,560 crickets.
Suppose a population of 160
crickets doubles in size every
month. The function
gives the
population after x months. How
many crickets will there be after
2 years?
