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?
a. 1024
b. 2048
c. 112
d. 224
To find the population of bunnies after 7 months, we substitute x = 7 into the equation P = 16(2)^x.
P = 16(2)^7
P = 16(128)
P = 2048
Therefore, the population of bunnies after 7 months will be 2048.
The answer is b. 2048.
