Suppose a population of 175 crayfish doubles in size every month. the function f(x) = 175(2x) gives the population after x months. how many crayfish will there be after 1 year?
The first thing we will do in this case is to rewrite the expression correctly. We have then: f (x) = 175 * (2 ^ x) Then, you should know that 1 year contains 12 months. So we have that for x = 12: f (12) = 175 * (2 ^ 12) f (12) = 716800 Answer: there will be 716800 crayfishes after 1 year
