The population of bunnies in March is 12. A researcher noticed that the population is tripling each month. The population can be represented by the equation P = 12(3)^x where x is the number of months since march. what will the population of bunnies be after 5 months?

Answer 1

To find the population of bunnies after 5 months, we can substitute the value of x which is 5 into the equation:

P = 12(3)^x

P = 12(3)^5

P = 12(243)

P = 2916

Therefore, the population of bunnies after 5 months will be 2916.
