Suppose a population of 40 crickets doubles in size every month. the function gives the population after x months. how many crickets will there be after 3 years?
The function is given by: f(x)=40(2)^x where x is in months he population after 3 years will be found as follows: x=3 years=3×12=36 months thus the population after 3 years will be: f(36)=40(2)^36 f(36)=2.748779069×10^12
