Explanation:

f(n) = 3(2)^n = 3 * 2^n.

We can see here that 3 is a constant term.

When n = 0, f(0) = 3 * 2^0 = 3.

Hence, on the 1st day 3 leaves fell. (A)

When n = 1, f(1) = 3 * 2^1 = 6.

When n = 2, f(2) = 3 * 2^2 = 12.

Notice that the number of leaves that fell keep doubling.

Therefore the number of leaves that fell on a given day is 2 times the number of leaves that fell on the previous day. (D)
