Question

a beekeeper estimates that his bee population will triple each year. Currently he has 150 bees. Write a function to represent the growth of the keeper's bee population overtime. Use x to represent the number of years

Answer 1

Exponential functions!

Explanation:

I think what you are dealing with is an exponential function!

So, to solve this, we need to first understand the main form of an exponential function:

`f(x)=a*b^(x)`

Where a is the number we start off with, and b is the constant thing(forgot what it was called).

Now, 150 is our starting number, so it is a, and b is our constant at which the initial term is multiplied, which is 3!

Also, defining variables:

Let f(x)= # of Bees

Let x= # of years

Thus, here is our equation:

`f(x)=150*3^(x)`

So, that's it!
