Suppose a population of 160 crickets doubles in size every month. The function gives the population after x months. How many crickets will there be after 2 years? (1 point) Responses 2,684,354,560 crickets 2,684,354,560 crickets 640 crickets 640 crickets 7,680 crickets 7,680 crickets 655,360 crickets
To find the population after 2 years, we need to find the number of months in 2 years and then substitute it into the function.
There are 12 months in a year, so 2 years would be 2 x 12 = 24 months.
Substituting 24 into the function, we get:
Population = 160 x (2)^24 = 2,684,354,560 crickets
Therefore, the correct answer is 2,684,354,560 crickets.
