The population of bunnies in March is 16. A researcher notices that the population is doubling each month. The population can be represented by the equation P = 16(2)x
where x is the number of months since March. What will the population of bunnies be after 7 months? (1 point)

The population of bunnies after 7 months can be found by plugging in x=7 into the equation P = 16(2)^x:
P = 16(2)^7
P = 16 * 128
P = 2048
So the population of bunnies after 7 months is 2048.
