Answer is C. -1023
F(1) = 2
f(2) = 3f(1) = 3(2) = 6
f(3) = 3f(2) = 3(6) = 18 (A)
<em>Answer:</em>
<em>There would be 173,535 lionfish after 6 years.</em>
<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>
<em>Since lionfish are considered an invasive species, with an annual growth rate of 67%, ya scientist estimates there are 8,000 lionfish in a certain bay after the first year, A) to write the explicit equation for f (n) that represents the number of lionfish in the bay after n years; B) determine how many lionfish will be in the bay after 6 years; and C) if scientists remove 1,200 fish per year from the bay after the first year, determine what is the recursive equation for f (n); the following calculations must be performed:</em>
<em></em>
<em>A)</em>
<em>8000 x 1.67 ^ n = f </em>
<em>B)</em>
<em>8000 x 1.67 ^ 6 = X</em>
<em>8000 x 21.691961596369 = X</em>
<em>173,535.692770952 = X </em>
<em>C)</em>
<em>(8000 - 1200 x 1 ^ n) x 1.67 ^ n = f</em>
<em>Therefore, there would be 173,535 lionfish after 6 years.</em>
Well x=19/3
Decimal form is 0.6333333....
