Question

There are 500 rabbits in Lancaster on February 1st. If the amount of rabbits triples every month. Write a function that represents the number of rabbits in Lancaster after “m” months. How many rabbits are there in Lancaster on August 1st?
Please explain

Answer 1

Answer:

10,93,500.

Step-by-step explanation:

On first February total number of rabbits were 500.

Now it is given that after each month rabbit population will become triple of initial.

So, after one month rabbits will become 3×500.

After two months they will become $3^{2}$×500.

Thus , after m months total number of rabbits will become $3^{m}$×500.

Now,

On August 1 , 7 months will get passed from February 1 so putting m = 7 in the equation we get ,

Total number of rabbits = $3^{7}$×500 = 10,93,500.
