The exponential equation that gives the number of bees in week 12 is of:
It is modeled by:
In which:
- a is the initial value.
- b is the rate of change.
In this problem, considering that the initial week is the first, and the value triples every week, the expression for the number of bees after x weeks is given by:
Hence, after 12 weeks, the expression is:
