Answer:
3645 rabbits after 6 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
The population of a rabbit colony triples each month.
This means that the population of the colony after t months is given by:
[tex]P(t) = P(0)(3)^t[/tex]
In which P(0) is the initial population.
The population started with 5 rabbits.
This means that [tex]P(0) = 5[/tex]
So
[tex]P(t) = 5(3)^t[/tex]
How many rabbits are there after 6 months?
This is P(6). So
[tex]P(6) = 5(3)^6 = 3645[/tex]
3645 rabbits after 6 months.
