Time Period, Number of Rabbits

0,2

1,4

2,8

etc.

Using the table from Part 1 ang your knowledge of exponents, write an equation that describes the doubling of the rabbit population every 6 months.

Let y =

Let x =

Using these variables, write an equation that describes the doubling of the rabbit population every 6 months. There were 2 rabbits at the beginning.

Answer 1

y = 2(2)^x/6
