Question

The frog population at a lake doubles every week. The population can be modeled by f(x) = 15(2)^x and f(6) = 960. What does the 960 represent?

Answer 1

960 is how many frogs there are after 6 weeks.

Answer 2

960 represent the population of frog after 6 weeks.

Explanation:

Given: The frog population at a lake doubles every week. The population can be modeled by
`f(x) = 15(2)^x` and f(6) = 960

We have to tell what this 960 represents.

Since, The population can be modeled by
`f(x) = 15(2)^x`

where x represents the week.

Thus, when x = 6

The model becomes,
`f(6) = 15(2)^6`

Which simplifies to 960.

This implies that the population of frog after 6 week is 960.

Thus, 960 represent the population of frog after 6 weeks.
