A rabbit population doubles every month. If the population starts at 32 rabbits at the end of the first month, how many rabbits will there be after eight months?(2 points)
The initial number of rabbits is
. The common ratio is
. The number of rabbits after eight months is
.
The common ratio is
2, since the population doubles every month.
The number of rabbits after eight months is
32 * (2^8) = 32 * 256 = 8192.
The initial number of rabbits is 32.
The common ratio is 2, since the population doubles every month.
To find the number of rabbits after eight months, we need to multiply the initial number of rabbits by the common ratio raised to the power of the number of months.
Therefore, the number of rabbits after eight months is 32 * (2^8) = 32 * 256 = 8192.
