A rabbit population starts with 6 rabbits, and then doubles every year. a) Find a recurrence relation for the number of rabbits after n years. b) Find a formula for an. c) What is the population after 8 years?

Step 1
The problem states that the rabbit population starts with 6 rabbits. This is our initial condition, which we can denote as a_0 = 6, where a_0 represents the population at year 0. Show more…

The number of rabbits in a population quadruples every 8 years. By what percent does the population change each year? (Is there an algebraic formula to show this?) A.) 118.9% growth B.) 18.9% growth C.) 84.1% growth D.) 18.9% decay

Population of Rabbits The population of rabbits in a national forest is modeled by the formula $P=12,300+1000$ $\ln (t+1),$ where $t$ is the number of years from the present. a. How many rabbits are now in the forest? b. Use the accompanying graph to estimate the number of years that it will take for the rabbit population to reach 15,000. c. Use the formula to determine the number of years that it will take for the rabbit population to reach 15,000. (Figure cant copy)

A bunny farm just opened. They started with 10 bunnies. In 4 months, there are 400 bunnies. Assume growth will continue at this rate. Use the equation, A(t) = Aoe^kt. (a) Find the k value for this exponential growth of bunnies. Round to 5 decimal places and use this k value for part b and c below. (b) Find the size of the population after 8 months. (c) When will the population reach 175?
