Question

11. The function f(x) = 12(2)* models an insect population after x weeks. To the nearest whole number, what

will the population be after 5 weeks?

Answer 1

384

Explanation:

We assume your function is supposed to be ...

f(x) = 12(2^x)

When x=5, the value is ...

f(5) = 12(2^5) = 12(32) = 384

There will be 384 insects after 5 weeks.
